PEMANDU:减少津贴和助减財赤‧建议徵收燃油消费税 (Benefits and help reduce the deficit reduction proposed to introduce a fuel consumption tax)

吉隆坡11日讯)消息透露,首相署表现管理及传递单位(PEMANDU)建议政府从明年起向消费者徵收“燃油消费税”(fuel consumption tax),以减少政府支付的津贴,同时有助於將財政赤字从5.6%降低至5.4%。


PEMANDU指政府为了承担国民的石油消费税,今年共损失65亿令吉税收;在目前的津贴制度下,政府未对消费者徵收每公升汽油58仙的消费税。

財政部副部长拿督林祥才对星洲日报证实,该部属下的政府津贴事务委员会的確正在研究PEMANDU的建议书,该委员会是由不同政府部门及机构的代表组成,但他强调,政府不会仓促作出任何重大决定。

“该委员会肯定会探討PEMANDU的建议书,毕竟那是出自专家的意见,它们將研究削减津贴对社会中下阶层所带来的衝击及影响程度,即使是一些好建议,也须按部就班执行。”

询及该委员会將在何时完成研究,以决定应否实施石油消费税制度时,林祥才说,它们刚刚接到建议书,因此研究结果“没这么快”出炉。

建议必须通过內阁批准

另一方面,国內贸易合作社及消费部副部长拿督陈莲花说,贸消部相信政府在做出决策时,將考量新政策会否加重人民的负担,PEMANDU提出任何建议都必须通过內阁批准才能落实。

“贸消部还未討论PEMANDU的建议,目前的情况是PEMANDU全权负责检討政府津贴的事宜,贸消部长(拿督斯里依斯迈沙比利)代表我们参与討论,PEMANDU直接在內阁会议中提出建议。”

政府甫於12月4日落实第二波津贴合理化计划,削减汽油及白糖津贴,预计每年为政府省下11亿8千万令吉开销。

星洲日报今日联络PEMANDU求证消息的准確性时,该单位发言人指出,它们不能针对任何有关税务的课题发表谈话,因为税务课题属於財政部的管辖范围。
