数据比较 多少美国人交收入所得税

【新唐人2012年9月19日讯】我们来看看美国联邦政府征收的工资税和所得税情况.

工资税,这部分收入用来支付像社会保险等类福利,另外是收入所得税,联邦预算的大部分项目用这笔钱来支付.

2011年,税收政策中心研究了美国家庭的交税情况.

53.6%的家庭被征收收入所得税, 46.4%的家庭不交税
28.3%的家庭交工资税,但不交收入税.
10.3%的是老人和退休人士,他们的社会保险福利不用交税
收入在2万美元以下的家庭不交任何税,这个比例是6.9%

其中只交工资税不交收入税的大部分家庭,是因为政府对老人,有孩子的家庭和低收入人士的社会福利.

Who pays US income tax?
The US federal government runs off two kinds of taxes: payroll taxes, which fund benefits such as Social Security, and income taxes, which largely fund the rest of the federal budget.

In 2011, the Tax Policy Center studied the tax liability of US households:

53.6% paid income taxes, 46.4% did not
28.3% paid payroll taxes but not income taxes
10.3% were elderly and retired and were not taxed on Social Security benefits
6.9% did not pay any tax with household incomes of less than $20,000 (£12,300)
The majority of those who pay payroll but not income tax do so because of tax benefits for the elderly, families with children and low-income earners
