西湾议会支持商品及服务税融资想法

Share:

新西兰西丰湾的领导人表示,尽管他们欢迎为议会提供更多资金,但这不足以缓解他们目前的压力。新西兰地方政府敦促政府将按税率支付的商品及服务税退还给议会,这将为全国额外提供11亿美元的资金。

陶朗加市议会将获得3,100万美元,占其3.08亿美元营业收入的10%。在这笔收入中,2.06亿美元来自利率。西丰湾区议会将获得1150万美元,占其9900万美元营业收入的11.6%,其中7700万美元来自利率。这些数字是由经济咨询公司Infometrics使用2022年的数据计算得出的。

陶朗加的委员会主席安妮·托利表示,尽管任何额外的资金都是有益的,但这并不能解决纳税人成本上涨的根本问题,尤其是在高增长的委员会中。陶朗加市议会目前正在为如何为基本基础设施筹措资金而苦苦挣扎,该市的快速增长使这一问题更加恶化。

西丰盛湾市长詹姆斯·丹尼尔也表示支持该委员会的替代资金来源。同时,新西兰地方政府主席山姆·布劳顿批评目前的地方政府融资体系已经崩溃,因为该体系严重依赖利率,他形容这是不可持续的。

讨论是在新西兰各地议会设定利率之际进行的,估计平均增长15%。陶朗加的2024年住宅利率中位数上涨了7%,但被新的工业评级类别所抵消,该类别将住宅利率降低了约3%。包括住宅、商业和工业地产在内的该市平均增幅为15.9%。

西丰湾区议会尚未设定利率,将其长期计划的通过推迟到9月。独立审查还建议中央政府为王室财产支付税率,设立气候变化基金,并考虑拟议政策决定对议会的资金影响。
