The Trump administration is seeking a dramatic reduction in the rate of corporation tax to 15 per cent, a White House official said, as the president seeks to accelerate growth by easing burdens on US business.
白宮一名官員表示，特朗普政府尋求將公司稅稅率大幅削減至15%。美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)試圖通過(guò)減輕美國(guó)企業(yè)負(fù)擔(dān)來(lái)加快經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。
That rate would be lower than the corporation tax rate being sought under plans developed by House Republican leaders, but it mirrors Donald Trump’s campaign goals to more than halve corporation tax from the current 35 per cent.
這一稅率低于眾議院共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人擬定的計(jì)劃中尋求實(shí)施的公司稅稅率，但與特朗普在競(jìng)選期間提出的將公司稅稅率從目前的35%下調(diào)一半以上的目標(biāo)大致吻合。
The proposed reduction comes as the administration places a higher priority on easing taxes than on curbing the US budget deficit. As such, it will encounter a rocky reception among fiscal conservatives in Congress, who worry about America’s escalating public debt and will be the arbiters of what tax legislation is proposed and passed.
這一擬議中的減稅方案推出之際，特朗普政府把減稅擺在了比遏制美國(guó)預(yù)算赤字更重要的位置上。就此而言，此舉將很難被國(guó)會(huì)中的財(cái)政保守主義者認(rèn)同，這些擔(dān)心美國(guó)公共債務(wù)不斷攀升的議員，將是提出和通過(guò)何種稅務(wù)法案的仲裁者。
Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, has suggested that tax reductions would pay for themselves by galvanising higher growth and generating fresh revenue for the government.
美國(guó)財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)史蒂文?姆努欽(Steven Mnuchin)暗示，這一減稅方案的成本可因提振增長(zhǎng)和為政府創(chuàng)造新收入而抵消。
