为什么我们可能需要缴纳更多税

未来几年,新西兰人可能会面临一场激烈的税收辩论。分析人士说,关键问题是该国是否征收了足够的税收,而不仅仅是需要征收资本利得税。财政部首席经济顾问多米尼克·斯蒂芬斯表示,目前,新西兰的财政赤字约占其经济的2.4%。

财政部2021年的报告指出了一些挑战,包括气候变化成本、公民老龄化和医疗费用上涨。如果支出趋势持续下去,该国的债务可能会变得不可持续。随着越来越多的人退休,工作和纳税的人将越来越少。

奥克兰大学的罗伯特·麦科洛克教授认为,经济的疲软将使筹集医疗和教育资金变得困难,从而导致下次选举中的税收讨论。工党可能会像英国工党一样推动增税以支持服务,而国民党可能会抵制这样的变革。

税务专家特里·鲍彻警告说,2.4%的赤字等于约100亿美元。他认为,削减政府开支可能会使赤字恶化,英国在2010年之后就是如此。养老金、医疗保健和气候变化成本的上涨意味着新西兰可能需要提高税收,估计将增加约GDP的2%或80亿美元,应随着时间的推移分配。

鲍彻指出,现任政府可能会推迟必要的增税。拥有大部分财富的较富裕的老一代可能会抵制提高税收的变革。他认为,新西兰尚未完全应对气候变化带来的金融风险。

其他专家,例如奥塔哥大学的丹尼斯·韦塞尔鲍姆,都认为人口老龄化可能需要更高的医疗保健和服务税收。他们建议管理政府效率或引进更多年轻移民作为潜在的解决方案。

最终,领导人可能面临艰难的选择:提高税收、削减老年人福利或减少政府支出。对服务的需求不断增长,但支付服务的人越来越少,这使未来的财务规划变得复杂。
