新组建的法国社会党政府宣布对富人增税后，不少法国富豪开始争相将财产转移至英国和瑞士等“富人友好型”国家。在新的增税计划中，法国收入在100万欧元以上的人群将面临75%的税率，而之前执行的收入7.2万欧元以上41%的税率也将提高至45%。据当地某地产中介数据显示，今年4月到6月期间，他们经手售出的价值170万欧元以上的房产项目超过100个。富人将国内的房产出售后转而到英国、瑞士等国家购买地产或者搜寻投资机会，而他们的房产多被有意投资法国房地产的外国投资者购入。英国首相卡梅伦称，如果法国政府一味到执行高税率，英国会铺好红毯欢迎更多法国富人和企业到英国交税。 Looming tax hikes by France's new socialist government have triggered an exodus of the Gallic super-rich to 'wealth-friendly' nations like Britain and Switzerland. The latest estate agency figures have shown large numbers of France's most well-heeled families selling up and moving to neighboring countries. Many are fleeing a proposed new higher tax rate of 75 percent on all earnings over one million euros. (£780,000) The previous top tax bracket of 41 percent on earnings over 72,000 euros is also set to increase to 45 percent. Sotheby's Realty, the estate agent arm of the British auction house, said its French offices sold more than 100 properties over 1.7 million euros between April and June this year - a marked increase on the same period in 2011. |
