Economic professor Ge Changyin became a hit online after micro blogging "one more yuan in year-end bonus may cause 1,000 more yuantax. For example, a bonus of 18,001 yuan would mean paying 1,154 yuan more tax than a bonus of 18,000."
經濟學教授葛長銀近日成為網絡焦點,因為他在其微博中寫道:“年終獎金多發一塊錢,可能就要多繳一千多塊錢的個人所得稅。比如,發18001元比18000元多納個稅1154.1元”。
多發一元year-end bonus(年終獎),就要多繳千余元bonus tax(年終獎金稅),這引發了眾多網友的熱議。文中關于年終bonus tax的算法得到了北京市地稅局的證實,多發了幾塊錢,就有可能導致tax rate(稅率)提高而多繳稅。這種情況可能是differential tax rates(差別稅率)造成的。
對此,很多人表示現有的tax system(稅收制度)不合理,不但給人們造成不便,還降低了social effectiveness(社會效益)。一位tax lawyer(稅務律師)稱最根本的解決辦法就是fill the loophole of tax laws(填補稅法漏洞)。
