The government imposed a heavy tax on luxury goods 政府对奢侈品课以重税。
Beijing ( afp ) - china is planning to expand a consumption tax on luxury items and adjust upward other taxes in an effort to even out income distribution and reduce poverty 法新社北京11月15日电( 15分钟前) ? ?中国正计划提高奢侈品消费税,上调其他税款,努力均衡收入分配、减少贫困。
Generally speaking , revenue derived from sales tax on luxury goods are more volatile than from basic necessities . since heavy reliance on tax derived from the sale of necessities are considered unfair and therefore socially undesirable , a trade off between stability and equity is clearly necessary 一般奢侈品的价格弹性往往较必需品为高,所以,从奢侈品徵收销售税的收入会较易受经济影响,但既然一般人都认为徵收必需品销售税是不公平的做法,我们便必须从稳定性和公平中作出合适的取舍。
