Daily Telegraph：艾伯特总理的国债税，将澳洲人的最高收入者税率推到世界排行14位

如果澳洲政府真的在下一财政年度推出临时的国债税来减少国家债务，那么澳洲最高收入人群的税率将会是发达国家中第14高。

如果政府在5月份的财政预算案中对年薪超过18万的澳人再加2%的国债税，那么澳洲最高收入人群的税率将达到49%。

这会使得澳洲的最高税率超越高税收的欧洲国家：

挪威 47.8%

德国 47.5%

意大利 47.3%

英国 47%。

澳洲最高收入人群的税率将会比邻居的发达国家，地区的要高出一半以上：

新西兰 33%

新加坡 20%

香港 15%

经济学家们警告说，澳洲的高税收，也会导致“人才外流”。

如果年轻人有才华，他们会选择移居国外，以减少税收。

根据经济合作与发展组织的数据表明，澳洲的18万收入最高税率约为平均工资的2.3倍。

而在美国，当工资收入超过平均收入9倍时才需要缴纳他们的最高税率 47.7%。

虽然在技术上来说，澳洲的最高税率只有45%。

但是加上1.5%的医疗卫生税，0.5%的资助残疾照顾，在加上现在可能要给的2%国债税。

那么澳洲最高税率将会是49%。

Tony Abbott’s debt tax to put top income earners rate 14th in world

The mooted 2 per cent levy on people earning more than $180,000 would boost take Australia’s top tax rate to 49 cents in the dollar.

DEBT TAX: Workers earning over $80,000 to feel pain

This would see Australia leapfrog high taxing European nations such as Norway (47.8 per cent), Germany (47.5 per cent), Italy (47.3 per cent) and the United Kingdom (47 per cent).

Australia’s top earners would be slugged more than double the rate of close neighbours such as New Zealand (33 per cent), Singapore (20 per cent) and Hong Kong (15 per cent).

LEVY OR TAX: Either way it is you who will pay

IS PM ISOLATED: Speculation he wants a ‘tax’ to reach budget surplus

Economists have warned of a “brain drain” if talented young earners choose to move abroad to minimise tax.

Australia’s top tax rate already cuts in at a relatively low income threshold compared to many other countries.

At $180,000 the top tax rate kicks in at about 2.3 times the average wage, figures from theOrganisation for Economic Cooperation and Development show.

In the United States, only taxpayers on about nine times the average wage pay the top tax rate there of 47.7 per cent (including social security contributions).

Technically Australia’s top marginal tax rate would remain at 45 cents in the dollar even after the levy.

But on top of this, top earners would pay the ordinary 1.5 per cent Medicare levy, plus a 0.5 Medicare levy boost to fund disability care, plus the 2 per cent debt levy.
