全球著名投資者,有“股神”之稱的巴菲特本周披露了他去年的總收入,這是他為敦促美國國會提高針對富裕人群的稅收而采取的另一項措施。據(jù)巴菲特公布的數(shù)據(jù),他去年的總收入約為6286萬美元。

In a letter to Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp Tuesday, Buffett revealed that his adjusted gross income last year was $62,855,038 and that his taxable income was $39,814,784. Buffett said he paid $15,300 in payroll taxes.
周二在寫給共和黨議員的信里,巴菲特透露去年一年他的總收入是62,855,038美元,而應(yīng)納稅收入為39,814,784美元。巴菲特表示他的總收入里15300美元為工資稅。

Buffett also said his federal income tax bill came to $6,923,494, or 17.4% of his taxable income.
巴菲特還說他繳的聯(lián)邦所得稅達(dá)到了6923494美元,是他應(yīng)納稅收入的17.4%。

Two key reasons he only paid 17.4%, however, is because a lot of his income came from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate than wages, and because payroll taxes are assessed only on the first $106,800 of wages.
聯(lián)邦所得稅繳稅比例只占應(yīng)交稅收入的17.4%是因為他大部分的收入是來自于投資收入,投資收入征稅力度比工資收入要低,另一個原因是因為工資稅只對達(dá)到106,800美元的工資進(jìn)行收稅。

"People who make money with money are getting taxed at a far lower rate than people who make money by their own labor," Buffett told CNNMoney.
“以錢生錢的人需要繳納的稅費比真正用勞動來賺錢的人要低得多。”巴菲特對CNNMoney說。

"If you could get other ultra-rich Americans to publish their returns along with mine, that would be very useful to the tax dialogue and intelligent reform," Buffett wrote.
“如果你能讓其他美國富豪和我一樣公布收益的話,我相信會對稅收對話和改革起著相當(dāng)積極的作用,”巴菲特在信中寫到。
