印度对高收入人群加税

India’s wealthy get demonetised again

印度富人将再次经历财富缩水

NEW DELHI: In the last few years, there’s been a buzz about the possible imposition of an inheritance tax. But instead of going down that road, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman decided to increase the levy on rich taxpayers, leaving the liability of others unchanged.

新德里：过去几年印度一直流传着关于可能征收遗产税的传言，但印度财政部长尼尔马拉•西塔拉曼没有这样做，反而决定对富人加税，其他纳税人的纳税义务则保持不变。

Under the new tax regime, those with income between Rs 2 crore and Rs 5 crore will pay tax at the rate of 39%, and those earning more than Rs 5 crore will have to pay tax at a whop 42.74%. This is more than the US, where the maxmum rate is 37%, which triggers over an income of $600,000 (Rs 4 crore approx). Though the tax slabs haven’t changed officially, rates have — because a tax surcharge of 25% has been imposed when income is between Rs 2 crore and Rs 5 crore. If income exceeds Rs 5 crore, the surcharge on tax is 37%. Besides this, there is a health and education cess of 4%, which will continue to be levied on income tax, including surcharge.

根据新税收制度，收入在2000万至5000万卢比之间的人将按39%的税率缴税，而那些收入在5000万卢比以上的人将按高达42.74%的税率缴税。这比美国税率高，美国的最高税率为37%，针对收入超过60万美元(约4000万卢比)者。

Tax payment is honest duty of civilised society. It is just a way that a person who earns, honestly shares with with others and thereby becomes a pillar for the development of society as a whole. Are you thinking that infrastructure, education and other social benefits come out of free for government???

纳税是文明社会人们的义务，是社会发展的一个支柱。你以为基础设施、教育和其他社会福利是政府免费提供的吗?

The best way to increase tax revenue is to reduce evasion among small retail traders and farmers. But rather than doing that, she has targeted the middle class.

增加税收的最佳途径是遏制小商贩和农民的逃税行为。但她没有这么做，反而把目标对准了印度中产阶级。

Are you kidding me? Earning between 2 to 5 crore and being middle class...Dont be too Greedy

你在开玩笑吧?

收入介于2000万到5000万卢比，就属于中产阶级？

Any irresponsible decision always strikes back at someone else. You would think tax collected will increase with this. I think people will hide more tax from authorities, and more black money and offshore investment will increase. People will have low threshold for migration to other countries. We lose in the end.

任何不负责任的决定总是会适得其反。你以为税收会因此增加，我反倒认为人们更会逃税，黑钱和海外投资会增加。移民到其他国家就更容易了，最后输的还是我们自己。

No relief to salaried persons or middle class on income tax . The inflation and high rates of GST. has depleted their wealth resulting in reduced purchasing power little or no savings. Worst conditions to survive in India.

工薪阶层和中产阶级的所得税没有减免。通货膨胀和高消费税，耗尽了他们的财富，导致购买力下降，几乎没有存款。印度人的生活条件是最糟糕的。

42% is almost half the income. How do you expect people to be honest if the govt policy is like this?

42%几乎占收入的一半。如果政府真这样收税，怎么能指望人们诚实纳税呢?
