昨天在立院院初審通過史上最大加稅案，年收入超過千萬的高所得者所得稅率從40%提高到45%，股利扣抵稅額減半，國家要富人加稅，財政部長張盛和今天說很多富人很樂意。

全國約9500位所得超過一千萬人的富人要加稅，財政部長張盛和不怕引起反彈。

[[財政部長 張盛和]]
“張忠謀先生、郭台銘先生，還有東森房屋的王應傑先生、(台達電)鄭崇華先生，他們都表達贊成之意，因為他捐贈的都比這個多，所以我對這些人非常敬佩”

王應傑表示，有錢人稅多繳一些錢給國家，也是做公德。

[[房仲業董事長 王應傑]]
“一年多交一、二百萬，但是台灣社會的和諧，貧富差距拉近比較重要”

財政部表示，大老闆加稅回饋社會後，可以讓近500萬繳稅戶受益減稅，同時讓國家財政更健全！

According to the finance minister, several of Taiwan’s wealthiest back proposed tax increases that would raise the highest marginal tax rate from 40 to 45 percent. The measure passed legislative committee yesterday but still has to be approved in two plenary votes. 

There about 9,500 people in Taiwan with net annual income over NT$10 million. Finance Minister Chang Sheng-ford says he’s not worried about a backlash that could result from asking them to pay more in taxes.

Chang Sheng-ford
Finance Minister
Mr. Morris Chang, Mr. Terry Gou, Mr. Wang Ying-chieh of Eastern Realty and Mr. Bruce Chen of Delta Electronics have all expressed support by saying the money they donate is more than the extra tax. I have a great deal of respect for them.

Wang described paying more in taxes as a kind of moral responsibility. 

Wang Ying-chieh
Real Estate Executive
I may have to pay an extra million or two a year. More important is this will bring greater harmony to Taiwanese society and reduce the wealth gap.

The proposed tax changes would lower payments for nearly 5 million taxpayers while still bringing in additional revenue for the treasury.
