狼又來了
「狼來了」是家傳戶曉的寓言故事。曾蔭權擔任財爺時,愛施展「狼來了」伎倆,事前多番指經濟差、要加稅,但預算案卻公布減稅,成功博取掌聲。
唐英年看似參考這個策略,但故事版本卻略有不同。他前年底繼任財爺後,大幅調高梁錦松提出的赤字預算。及後香港經濟開始強勁復甦,他在去年預算案中估計四百九十億赤字。至日前公布新一份預算案,他仍預測政府撇除債券後,在本年度會出現虧損。唐英年是否如此深謀遠慮,不得而知;但實際上已予人有先嚇壞市民,再叫人乖乖勒緊褲頭的效果。日前,庫務局局長馬時亨在立法會答覆我的提問時,仍言之鑿鑿指政府今年仍有百多億財赤。
這隻狼是否到來,乃早有玄機。庫務署署長在去年八月做中期結算,指政府有四百億元赤字;截至今年初,政府的綜合帳目已錄得百多億盈餘。只要二、三月的稅季一過,庫房便收到數十億的稅款。再者,賣地收入遠較預期理想,地價收入是原先預計的兩倍半,如此看來,即使扣除債券,政府今年也有錢可剩。
其實,作為政府主要收入的薪俸稅和利得稅都在財政年度尾才入帳,令政府在年尾的收入較開支多,上半年「乾塘」、下半年「水浸」的現象實屬正常。這或可解釋政府保守估計財政情況的原因,但卻不能合理化誇大財赤、向市民「篤數」的做法。
唐英年上任時,香港經濟逐漸轉好,加上梁錦松時代制訂的加稅時間表,唐英年要由「赤字財爺」變成「盈餘財爺」,為自己建功立業並不困難。若他大耍「狼來了」的板斧,唱大財赤以求遏制市民減稅派糖的欲望,就只會適得其反。
同樣伎倆,得出不同的效果。曾蔭權所說的故事,結局令人喜出望外,但唐英年今天卻惹來「誇大財赤」的質疑。若同一個故事再說下去,也只會令市民認為,凡是官員說的,都不可信。
