Portland 辩论 Fair Share Tax 提案：为 18,000 家小企业减税并提高薪酬差距附加税
位于俄勒冈州摩特诺玛县的 Portland 市议会正辩论一项名为 Fair Share Tax 的税收提案：为全市约 18,000 家小企业减税，同时提高对高管与员工薪酬差距巨大企业的现有 Pay Ratio Surtax 薪酬比率附加税，提案方预计整体每年可筹集约 7,200 万美元。
提案 10 月 8 日在市议会全体委员会提出，10 月 15 日继续辩论。联署提案人包括议会主席 Jamie Dunphy 及议员 Mitch Green、Angelita Morillo、Sameer Kanal、Candace Avalos 与 Tiffany Koyama Lane。
支持者称提案让小企业松绑、让大企业多担一份；商界团体则担忧附加税推高在 Portland 的经营成本。提案尚须经过委员会表决与全体会议审议，税率与征收门槛仍可能调整。（GSM 据 Portland 市政府 portland.gov 发布）
Portland Debates Fair Share Tax Proposal Cutting Taxes for 18,000 Small Businesses While Raising Pay-Ratio Surtax
PORTLAND, Oregon — The Portland City Council is debating a Fair Share Tax proposal that would cut taxes for about 18,000 small businesses while raising the existing Pay Ratio Surtax on companies with very large gaps between executive and worker pay in Multnomah County. Sponsors project the package would raise about $72 million a year.
The proposal was introduced in the council's committee of the whole on October 8 and debated further on October 15. Sponsors include Council President Jamie Dunphy and Councilors Mitch Green, Angelita Morillo, Sameer Kanal, Candace Avalos and Tiffany Koyama Lane.
Supporters say the plan relieves small businesses while asking the largest companies to carry more; business groups warn the surtax could raise the cost of operating in Portland. The proposal still faces committee and full-council votes, and rates and thresholds may change. (GSM, based on City of Portland releases at portland.gov)
