全球著名投資者,有“股神”之稱(chēng)的巴菲特本周披露了他去年的總收入,這是他為敦促美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)提高針對(duì)富裕人群的稅收而采取的另一項(xiàng)措施。據(jù)巴菲特公布的數(shù)據(jù),他去年的總收入約為6286萬(wàn)美元。
In a letter to Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp Tuesday, Buffett revealed that his adjusted gross income last year was $62,855,038 and that his taxable income was $39,814,784. Buffett said he paid $15,300 in payroll taxes.
周二在寫(xiě)給共和黨議員的信里,巴菲特透露去年一年他的總收入是62,855,038美元,而應(yīng)納稅收入為39,814,784美元。巴菲特表示他的總收入里15300美元為工資稅。
Buffett also said his federal income tax bill came to $6,923,494, or 17.4% of his taxable income.
巴菲特還說(shuō)他繳的聯(lián)邦所得稅達(dá)到了6923494美元,是他應(yīng)納稅收入的17.4%。
Two key reasons he only paid 17.4%, however, is because a lot of his income came from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate than wages, and because payroll taxes are assessed only on the first $106,800 of wages.
聯(lián)邦所得稅繳稅比例只占應(yīng)交稅收入的17.4%是因?yàn)樗蟛糠值氖杖胧莵?lái)自于投資收入,投資收入征稅力度比工資收入要低,另一個(gè)原因是因?yàn)楣べY稅只對(duì)達(dá)到106,800美元的工資進(jìn)行收稅。
"People who make money with money are getting taxed at a far lower rate than people who make money by their own labor," Buffett told CNNMoney.
“以錢(qián)生錢(qián)的人需要繳納的稅費(fèi)比真正用勞動(dòng)來(lái)賺錢(qián)的人要低得多?!卑头铺貙?duì)CNNMoney說(shuō)。
"If you could get other ultra-rich Americans to publish their returns along with mine, that would be very useful to the tax dialogue and intelligent reform," Buffett wrote.
“如果你能讓其他美國(guó)富豪和我一樣公布收益的話,我相信會(huì)對(duì)稅收對(duì)話和改革起著相當(dāng)積極的作用,”巴菲特在信中寫(xiě)到。
