CNN News: 特朗普政府稅收新提案 將大規(guī)模減稅

The Trump administration has made a new proposal concerning taxes in America. The U.S. treasury secretary calls it the biggest tax cut and largest tax reform in U.S. history.

特朗普政府就美國稅收提出新提案。美國財政部長稱這一提案是美國歷史上規(guī)模最大的減稅和稅改方案。

But analysts say there weren't enough details in the proposal to know for sure. What is clear is that it would change U.S. tax brackets. Generally, the more money Americans earned, the higher their tax rate, the more they pay in taxes. There are currently seven different income tax brackets, ranging from 10 percent to 39.6 percent. The Trump administration's proposal would reduce the number of brackets to three, ranging from12 percent to 33 percent and decreasing the taxes that most Americans pay.

但是分析人士表示，方案中具體細節(jié)不足，尚不能予以確定。但可以明確的是，該方案將改變美國的納稅等級。一般來說，掙錢越多的美國人，他們的稅率也就越高，需要繳納的稅額也就越高。目前美國個人所得稅分為7個稅級，稅率從10%到39.6%不等。特朗普政府的提案將納稅等級減少至3個，稅率從12%至33%不等，同時減少大部分美國人都要繳納的稅款。

But as far as what businesses pay, from mom and pop shops to law firms, today's top tax rate is 39.6 percent. The White House plan would drastically reduce that to 15 percent. It could also reduce taxes owed by companies that do business overseas.

在企業(yè)稅方面，從小本經(jīng)營的商店到律師事務(wù)所，目前最高的稅率為39.6%。白宮的計劃將使企業(yè)稅率大幅縮減至15%。這一計劃可能還會減少開展業(yè)務(wù)海外的公司的稅率。

The government gets most of its revenue from taxes. Reducing them would mean less revenue. The plan doesn't say how the difference would be made up. And Democrats criticize the proposal, calling it a gift to corporations and wealthy Americans. Analysts call the plan a starting point that the Republican-controlled Congress could use as it develops its tax reform plan.

政府的大部分收入來自稅收。減少稅收意味著減少財政收入。這項計劃并沒有說明該如何彌補差額。民主黨人批評了這項方案，稱其是給企業(yè)和美國富人的禮物。分析人士認為這項方案可以開發(fā)稅改計劃，是共和黨控制下的國會可以利用的一個起點。
