Kamala Harris Wants To Raise Corporate Tax Rate To 28%, Erasing Part Of Trump's Signature Tax Cuts
Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly calling for an increase to the corporate tax rate that would roll back part of former President Donald Trump's legislation from 2017 that resulted in a significant lowering of corporate taxes.
據報道，副總統賀錦麗呼籲提高企業稅率，這將回滾特朗普2017年的部分立法，導致企業稅的大幅降低。
What To Know: According to an NBC News report, Harris campaign spokesman James Singer said Monday that Harris would push for a corporate tax rate of 28% if elected president in November.
據NBC News報道，賀錦麗競選發言人詹姆斯·辛格週一表示，如果賀錦麗在11月當選總統，她將推動企業稅率達到28%。
Singer reportedly characterized the move as a "fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share."
據報道，辛格將此舉描述爲「在財政上負責任地讓工薪階層回收資金，並確保億萬富翁和大企業公平分擔稅負」。
"As President, Kamala Harris will focus on creating an opportunity economy for the middle class that advances their economic security, stability and dignity," Singer reportedly said in an email.
據報道，辛格在一封電子郵件中表示：「作爲總統，卡馬拉·賀錦麗將專注於爲中產階級創造一個促進他們的經濟安全、穩定和尊嚴的機會經濟。」
The report indicates the planned Harris policy could potentially raise billions of dollars given that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has projected that a 1% increase in the corporate tax rate corresponds to about $100 billion over the course of a decade. It would also roll back much of Trump's legislation from 2017 that saw the corporate rate cut from 35% to 21%.
根據一份美國國會預算辦公室的報告，賀錦麗計劃可能會增加數十億美元的稅收，因爲該機構預計企業稅率增加1%相當於十年內增加1000億美元。該計劃還將撤回特朗普2017年制定的降低企業稅率從35%至21%的法律。
Major parts of the 2017 Trump tax cuts are set to expire at the end of 2025. The proposal from Harris' team firmly pits the vice president against Trump, who recently said he would cut taxes further if reelected.
特朗普2017年的稅改中的重要部分將在2025年底到期。賀錦麗團隊的提議將削弱副總統對最近表示如果連任將進一步減稅的特朗普的觀點。
"Instead of a Biden tax hike, I'll give you a Trump middle-class, upper-class, lower-class, business-class — big tax cut. You're going to have the biggest tax cut," Trump reportedly said at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey in May.
據報道，特朗普在今年5月新澤西州威爾德伍德的一次集會上表示：「與其讓拜登加稅，我會給你們一項涵蓋中產、上層階級、底層階級、商業階層的特朗普大減稅。你們將獲得最大的減稅。」
Harris has been slowly unveiling plans for her vision as the next potential president as the Democratic National Convention kicks off this week. The 28% target is lower than what she proposed in her failed presidential campaign in 2020 and more in line with President Joe Biden's most recent budget proposal.
隨着民主黨全國代表大會本週開始，賀錦麗一直在慢慢披露她作爲下一位潛在總統的願景，目標是低於她在2020年未獲成功的總統競選中提出的企業稅率28%，更符合喬·拜登總統的最新預算提議。
Biden is expected to headline the opening night of the Democratic National Convention on Monday with a speech on why he believes Harris is the right person to take the presidency.
拜登預計將在週一的民主黨全國代表大會開幕式上發表講話，闡述他爲什麼認爲賀錦麗是擔任總統的合適人選。
