专栏税收

Government should come with a clear price tag
税收为何不能“明码标价”?


FT专栏作家布里坦:眼下英国的税率制度已复杂得令人难以忍受。撇开税率是否合理不论,我们至少有权清楚地知道,自己到底要拿出收入的多大比例来缴税。

One should always be careful about suggesting ideas for simplifying any aspect of government policy. What is a simplification for one person is a complication for another. A policy that is simple at the receiving end may require untold work for harassed and under-appreciated civil servants. Unfortunately the UK personal tax system has reached such levels of incomprehensibility that this risk must be taken.

我们应始终警惕那种将政府政策的某些方面简化一下的想法。对这个人来说的“简化”,对另一个人可能意味着“复杂化”。一项对于接受方来说简单的政策,可能需要疲惫而得不到理解的公务员做大量工作。遗憾的是,英国个税制度的令人费解已让人无法忍受,我们必须冒这个风险去改变。
