《预算案》陈茂波:提交法案上调股票印花税自0.1%上调至0.13% 目前不适宜调整利得税及薪俸税税率
财政司司长陈茂波发表新一份财政预算案,他於去年已提及需要考虑新的收入来源或调整税率,并逐步缩减一次性宽免措施的规模,虽然调升现有税率可以短期达到增加收入的目的,但仍须小心选取。政府充分考虑对证券市场和国际竞争力的影响後,决定提交法案调整股票印花税税率,由现时买卖双方按交易金额各付0.1%,提高至0.13%。政府将继续全力推行各项发展证券市场的措施,将香港的金融业发展至更高的台阶。
他指出受当前的经济环境及疫情影响,企业和市民普遍仍面对相当的财政压力,认为目前不适宜调整作为政府主要收入来源的利得税及薪俸税税率。不过,政府会持续审视,在适当时作出调整。
他指出在谘询期间收到不少开徵新税项的建议,要引入新税项,须通盘考虑,小心推敲,以及认真聆听社会的意见。目前政府聚焦抗疫和重振经济,并不具备条件引入新税项。但会进行相关研究及准备工作,於适当时开展深入讨论,就开徵新税项寻求共识,以增加收入。(el/a) ~
