美华盛顿州议会提案设富人税 分析料贝索斯须年付20亿美元
阿思达克 02-09 11:40
《CNBC》报道,美国华盛顿州州议会提出法案,向财富总值逾10亿美元人士徵收1%富人税,预计每年为州政府贡献25亿美元。富人税徵税范围将只限於无形资产或金融投资,包括股份及期权。州议员认为必须引入富人税,并指当地没有入息税,且从销售税、物业税及其他税种获取税务收益,低收入和中产人士承担较大税额.,造成不公平现象。

报道引述税务专家表示,富人税将过於依赖当地四大富豪,包括亚马逊创办人贝索斯、微软创办人盖茨、微软前行政总裁比尔默(Steve Ballmer)及贝索斯前妻MacKenzie Scott,各人按其资产每年支付富人税税额分别为20亿、13.5亿、8.7亿及6亿美元,四人料贡献当地富人税税额97%。分析指他们可把财富转移至其他州份避税,但需时半年才能完成迁户程序。
