西雅图通过新税种，大型企业将被征税

西雅图市议会已经批准了一项针对该市最大企业及其收入最高者的新税种，该法案称为“JumpStart Seattle”，在本周一以7比2的投票结果通过，预计将于2021年生效。这部分税收而来的钱将最初用于新冠疫情的资助，但最终将用于解决西雅图的住房和无家可归者的问题。

根据该法征税标准：年薪支出大于等于700万美元的企业，其支付给西雅图员工的金额将被征收0.7%至2.4%的税，具体税收额会进行等级划分。而像亚马逊这种支出超过10亿美元的公司将会被收取最高等级的税，这些公司支付给个人薪资超过40万的员工的这部分金额将被征收2.4%的税。这一决定对亚马逊来说是一个打击，目前亚马逊拒绝对 "JumpStart "立法发表评论。

The Seattle City Council has approved a new tax on the city’s largest business and its highest earners. The bill is called "JumpStart Seattle" and was passed on Monday with a 7-2 vote. It is expected to take effect in 2021.  The money from this part of the tax will be used initially to fund the coronavirus outbreak, but it will eventually be used to solve the housing and homelessness problem in Seattle.

According to the taxation standard of this law: the annual salary expenditure is greater than or equal to 7 million US dollars, the amount paid to Seattle employees will be levied a tax of 0.7% to 2.4%, and the specific tax amount will be graded. Companies such as Amazon, which spend more than $1 billion, will be charged the highest level of tax. These companies will pay a 2.4% tax on the amount paid to employees whose personal salaries exceed 400,000. This decision is a blow to Amazon, which currently refuses to comment on "JumpStart" legislation.  source
