Which is correct / natural?

Dear teachers,

Could you let me know which is correct or natural?

(a) The hike in Japan's consumption tax in 1996 undermined a fragile economic recovery.

(b) Japan's consumption tax hike in 1996 undermined a fragile economic recovery.

Thanks and best regards,

David Kim

I prefer #1, but both are okay. Consider linking "tax" and "hike" with a hyphen in #2.
