6、portant , a I though taxes have oth er purposes today. Taxes are the ma i n source of revenue or i ncome for government and prov i de the ch i ef means of cover i ng current costs or expenditures.传统意义上,税收最初的作用是为政府供给公共物品与公共服务提供资金。虽 然税收目前的用途更为广泛,但是资金筹措职能的重要性丝毫不减。税收是政府收 入(译者注:从各种来源的政府收入拨给支付公共支出的费用)和收益(
7、译者注: 用一段时间的劳力或服务而换得的金钱收益或同等收益)的主要来源,并且提供了 偿付政府日常开支和支出的重要手段。The major i ssue i s the i r effect on es d i vert resources y be a source ofi nvoIv i ng the financing funct i on of taxes the efficient use of scarce resources.

11、e the a I Iocat i on of re sources.在资金筹集职能上,通过税收将资源转移出私人部门存在一个前提假设:即资 源在私人部门能够得到有效利用。因此,政府对于资源在私人部门分配最基本的态 度是不干预或最低限度的干预。(因此,政府首要考虑的是如何以一种对私人部门资 源配置不干预或最小干预的方式来转移资源。)如果资源未能在私人部门得到有效 配置,税收将有目的地被用于产生具倾向性的影响,换言之,税收可用于调整资源配 置。The red i stri but i on funct i onoftaxes税收的再分配职能The red i stri but i on funct

14、 gher i ncome groups can take advantage ofin order to minimize thei r tax payments. Tax incidence s tudies try to f ind out who reaI Iy pays taxeso税收的再分配职能引发了一个问题,即在纳税人之间分摊再分配税的方式. 确定税种和税率的方式是:改变收入群体的(收入)特征,使其彼此相互接近.(税收再分配职能引发的问题是如何在纳税人之间合理地分配税收。税种和税 率的选择方式可以改变多收入组别之间的分配状态,使之变为其他状态。)例 如,累进制所得税率对收入的高
15、端部分征收比低端部分更高的百分比。累进制 所得税率以低收入群体而非高收入群体的税后收入作为参考标准.然而,这种 影响作用部分或全部被减税、贷款等高收入群体用以最小化税务支出的手段抵 消。(然而,这种效应会部分或全部地被税收减免、抵扣,以及类似手段抵消 掉,高收入群体可以利用这些手段使其税收支付最小化。)税负研究试图查明 纳税的真正施解I i zat ionfunct ionoftaxes税收的稳定职能The stab i I i zat i onfunct i onoftaxesv i ews taxes asa var i abIe that can be altered to di rec

18、s oWhen the economy i s exper i enci ng dec Ii n i ng reaI output and rising unempIoyment , tax rates can be cut i n order to i increase pr i vate spend i ngo税收的稳定功能将税收视为引导经济趋于稳定的变量,所谓经济稳定指充分就 业和价格平稳.提升税赋通常导致私人消费及储蓄的减少,因而降低了私人支出,与此相对,降低税赋则增加了私人消费及储蓄,即增加了私人支出.当经 济接近或出于充分就业并存在通胀预期时,提升税率可以缓解通胀压力。当经济面 临
19、实际产出衰退和失业增加预期时,降低税率可以刺激私人支出。Taxes can be viewed as a fi sea I poI icy var iabIe to be ch anged depend i ng uponoveraI Ieconomic conditions.Th i sroIe pI aces taxes i n qu i tea d i fferent perspect i vethantheroIe i nwh i ch they are traditionallyseensimple asa methodof finance.

21、于此目的,譬如投资税扣除.The tax system a I so has propert i es wh i ch prov i de the econo mi c stab i I i ty.

23、t tends to stabi I ize the economy. Th i s automat i c countercycIi caI behav i or i n tax co I Iect ions has made an important contr ibut ion to economic stab i Ii ty i n the past。税收系统还具有为经济提供稳定性的功能。在经济扩张时期,征税会自然增长, 这种税收的自然增长基于销售和收入.由此,税收的自然增长趋势会放缓经济的扩 张.与此相对应,在经济收缩时期,征税可以缓解经济活动的衰退.因而,即使税率 在经济波动周期中
24、不作调整,征税依旧可以自动发挥稳定经济的作用。征税的反经济周期行为一直以来为稳定经济作着贡献。taxes 关于税收的哲学视角 concern i ng the re I at i onsh i p taxpayer.

25、 ders it to be i nvoIuntary or coerciveo关于政府和纳税人之间关系的哲学观点有两种。一种将这种关系视为自愿 性的,另一种认为其是非自愿性的或强制性的。1、taxes as vo I untary payments作为自愿性支付的税收Taxes may be v i ewed as as amounts pa i d voI untar i Iy v i ces demanded by them.

27、税收是价格的反映。对于需求方而言, 税收是纳税人对公共产品和公共服务的边际评价;对于供给方而言,税收是公 共产品和公共服务的经济成本.The voIuntary payment view of taxes stresses a qu i d pr o quo relationship between the government and the taxpayer; name Iy ,taxpayers give up someth i ng i n the form of taxes i n order to get i n return what they are willing to pa

29、 的形式放弃部分权利,获得期望的回报。税收自愿支付论假设纳税人的偏好是 通过“投票箱”传递给纳税人代表的,正如消费者的偏好是通过价格传递给生 产者的T:赫cs as invoI untary payments作为非自愿性支付的税收A contrast i ng v i ew perce i ves taxes as i nvoIuntary paymentso Thi s v i ewstresses thepointthat taxpayershaveno choicebut to paythe i r taxes.Thus,it i s arguedthatthe re I at i o
30、nsh i p between the government and taxpayers i s not ana Iogous to the voIuntary re I at i onsh i p between seI Iers and buyers i n the pr i vate economy.另一种对立观点认为税收是非自愿性支付。该观点强调纳税人在是否纳税上无 可选择。因此,政府和纳税人之间的关系与私人经济中买卖双方间的自愿关系不具 有相似性。Both of these v i ews can be benef i c i a I i n helping to under sta
31、nd taxes and the re I at i onsh i p between taxpayers and governme nt. Buyers in the economy , as compared to taxpayers, are gen era I Iy freer to buy” or not to buy. Once decisions are ma de concerning government expenditures , individuaI taxpayers do no have the choice to pay or not to pay taxes.
32、However, the re I at i onsh i p between the government and taxpayers i n a democr atic society is not totaI Iy coercive o If the democratic decis ion-making process i s working correct Iy,taxpayers as a groupare not gett i ng what they want, they can choose to eIect n ew representatives o It shouId

The efficiency of both dep ends upon how we I I they prov i de the goods and serv i ces demand ed by the pub Ii co上述两种观点都有助于理解税收以及纳税人和政府的关系。经济领域的购买者 被当作纳税人的参照,市场中的买主通常可以自由地选择购买与否.一旦决策与政 府支出相关,作为个体的纳税人是无法选择纳税与否的。但是,民主社会中的政府 与纳税人关系并非绝对强制。民主决策程序的合理运用使作为群体的纳税人能够在 不满现状的情况下选举新的(利益)代表。然而,不可否认,个体偏好在私人经济 领域能够得到比在公共部门更好的满足。市场(私人部门)和政府(公
