「銷售稅」成為城中熱話,有人贊成有人反對,高官力推議員抗議。一般市民尚未充分了解整個建議的來龍去脈,反正一聽見是開徵新「稅」,就心中起了抗拒。若果政府真的要推行,肯定還有很大很大的阻力要去消除。
我對銷售稅的看法,簡簡單單的兩個字:支持。
在下所知有限,我只知道以下三個國家有銷售稅:美國、加拿大和日本。其餘應尚有歐洲諸國,恕不一一去查證了。
美、加、日等三國,給大家的印象是甚麼?自由社會、開放市場、經濟發達、國民富裕、產品豐富等等之外,同時她們的社會福利制度也是相對較完善的。銷售稅的存在,毋疑為當地政府提供了一個相當穩定的收入,間接去支付社會福利上的各種開支。
當港人們紛紛飛到日本旅遊消費時,為何從不抗拒彼邦的銷售稅?港人到美加定居留學的不釣隡ヾA為何大家又甚少抱怨當地的銷售稅制度?
其實,我們對在街外飲茶食飯時要「加一服務費」,反而十分接受,更往往在「加一」之餘還會另付小費。想想,把銷售稅看成是為香港社會儲錢的「加一」,會否比較容易接受?何況,銷售稅絕對不會有一成那麼多,頂多咪百分之五!
