成績表
去年九月,行政長官曾蔭權首度開腔為正諮詢的銷售稅辯護,「挑戰」反對銷售稅的人「提供解決政府財政問題的辦法」,筆者對號入座,當天發出新聞稿,重申政府應改變外匯基金投資收益的分帳方法,這樣既可以穩定政府收入。誰知,政府翌日再發出新聞稿,指「就有意見認為香港即使經濟收入出現波動,可利用外基金及賣地收入應付,毋須開徵商品及服務稅,政府發言人今日(九月十三日)在回應傳媒查詢時表示,政府對此並不同意。」又指「若我們輕易動用外匯基金的累計盈餘,可能會削弱外匯基金抵禦衝擊港元率的能力。」
不過,這不代表政府不聽民主黨的意見:剛公佈的預算案,財政司司長說「經過審慎的考慮後,以及在不影響外匯基金捍衞港元和穩定香港貨幣金融體系的能力這原則下,我決定修改財政儲備與外匯基金的分帳安排,主要目的是提高政府的投資收入和增加其穩定性。」修改的方法,是將回報率定於過去六年的平均值,與筆者一直建議的定額三百億元相近。
其實,政府在預算案內採納了多項民主黨的建議,例如放寬低收入人士交通津貼,民主黨去年底便建議財政司,放寬過於嚴苛的申請資格,讓更多低收入人士受惠,鼓勵他們就業!
又例如削減薪俸稅。筆者早在零四年底,已建議政府因應經濟復甦,撤回零三年因為財赤而加薪俸稅的措施,將免稅額、稅階和邊際稅率回復至零二/零三年,財政司司長今年終於接納了大部份建議。
而早在零一年,筆者已提出綠色稅務改革,建議政府徵收環保稅。財政司司長在預算案內也表示引入膠袋稅的法例今年便會提交到立法會,正式落實引入環保稅。
日前筆者一邊聆聽財政司司長宣讀預算案時,有不少部份也有似曾相識之感,包括增加長者護理宿位、在政府場地提供免費無線上網服務、研究在機場興建第三條跑道等等。
唯一得到財政司司長「接納」而令筆者及黨友感到失望的,是政府所說的兒童發展基金,未能有效達至政府所指「培育兒童發展」。美國有研究顯示,扶貧的資源最有效是投放在兒童身上,筆者與黨友最初建議成立兒童發展基金,是希望運用公帑,協助低收入家庭的子女有機會參加課外活動,自小發展潛能和技能。可是,政府建議的兒童發展基金,卻建議要家長供款。他們連生活開支也可能難以應付,何來餘錢供款?希望政府能重新考慮民主黨的方案!
