[edit]Noun

- 1948, Ken Shiozaki, “Rōdō-sha to zeikin [Workers and taxation]”, in Rōdō jihō [Labor newsletter][1], volume 9, number 10, page 5:
- 酒税は、これらの者の負担となり、特級ウイスキーや特級清酒は、社用族が飲むからその高い酒税は、主として企業家あるいは株主の負債となる
- Shuzei wa, korera no mono no futan to nari, tokkyū uisukī ya tokkyū seishu wa, shayōzoku ga nomu kara sono takai shuzei wa, shu to shite kigyōka arui wa kabunushi no fusai to naru
- As for the liquor tax, since top shelf whisky or high-quality sake is drunk by shayōzoku the burden of those high taxes falls mainly on the owners or the shareholders
- 酒税は、これらの者の負担となり、特級ウイスキーや特級清酒は、社用族が飲むからその高い酒税は、主として企業家あるいは株主の負債となる
