【2021年财算总结】王瑞杰:不会在此时上调消费税

【财政预算案2021】2020年预算赤字达649亿元 占国内生产总值13.9%

副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰强调,如今正处于经济复苏的初步阶段,因此不会再此时上调消费税。

王瑞杰今日(26日)在财政预算案辩论总结时表示,事实上,开销方面的结果性增长预计将会更早带个我们冲击,包括加强公共医疗系统。若延后这笔开销,可能将无法在必要时为人们提供妥善处理。

至于有议员提出,是否可依靠征收其他税收来调长消费税,例如富人税时,王瑞就则指出,富人税并无法取代消费税的调涨,且单靠调涨消费税不足以应付日益高涨的医疗和社会开销。

尽管如此,他表示,我国将会继续检讨富人税。

此前,工人党议员蔡庆威回应,政府推出配套固然在某中程度上能抵消消费税的增长,但高消费税的事实,却仍然会冲击一些中低收入家庭的生计。

因此,他进一步提议可考虑征收财富人税作为替代高消费税的方案。

针对工人党议员贝理安提出调高较昂贵房产的买方印花税和额外买方印花税的建议,王瑞杰指出,这是一项房地产市场措施,而非为了增加收入,目的是为了维持房地产市场的稳定和可持续性。

预计低收入户每人可获得6千500元福利

另一方面,王瑞杰在总结财政预算案时表示,预计每户低收入家庭的每一个人将可平均获得6千500元的福利。

他指出,单项财政预算对显著的社会支出带来有效的增强,过去十年来,我国一直逐步在调整系统,使税收和拨款向中低收入群体倾斜。

因此,相信在扣除税收后,每户低收入本地家庭的成员将可获得6千500元,而最高收入家庭的每名成员则需支付约9500元。

在疫情的打击下,王瑞杰也提到,政府也提供了多层次的援助,帮助国人对抗疫情,也为新加坡极力打造一个有凝聚力和宜居的国家。这也使得我国的基尼系数经过税费回扣和政府拨款调整后,降至历史最低。

为此,他表示,希望每一代人都能比上一代人过得更好,于是采取多管齐下对未来进行投资。

王瑞杰也举例,目前设置的1万4000元收入顶限,让80%的国人能以补贴价购买组屋;每户本地家庭在孩子出生后,可获得高达3万5000元的现金和福利;每名新加坡藉儿童到了16岁,预计可获包括学前补贴在内,超过18万元的教育补贴;公积金和乐龄补贴计划则有助年长人士安享晚年,退休户头配对填补计划也将在未来五年提供更多援助。

至于医疗支出,他指出,我国过去十年间,即从2011年的39亿元增至2019年的113亿元,几乎增加了两倍。其中,也为年长者提供优质且可负担的医疗服务。

王瑞杰说,国人可以放心,他们永远都能拥有属于自己的家,孩子亦能在世界一流的教育体系中成长,且年长者的退休生活有保障,家人的医疗需求也会受到照顾。
