托宾税是指对现货外汇交易课征全球统一的交易税,旨在减少纯粹的投机性交易。
托宾税(英语:Tobin tax,或译为杜宾税),由经济学者詹姆士·托宾于1972年提出的财税措施,主张针对现货外汇交易,征收全球统一的税额,其目的在于减少因投机性买卖而造成市场的动荡。
詹姆士·托宾认为如果全球采用这套税制,将可以减少外汇市场因为投机买卖而造成的波动,稳定全球市场。而征税所得,可以作为全球性的收入重分配,投入低度发展国家,增进他们的经济发展。
英文释义如下:
The Tobin tax is a tax levied on spot currency conversions, with the intention of disincentivizing short-term currency speculation, named after economist James Tobin.
In contrast to a consumption tax paid by consumers, the Tobin tax is meant to apply to financial sector participants as a means of controlling the stability of a given country's currency. It is more formally known today as a Financial Transactions Tax (FTT), or less formally a Robin Hood tax.
可参考如下双语例句,了解一下托宾税的使用场景:
比如,尽管所谓的托宾税(对金融交易收取少量税收)的初衷是为发展援助融资,但欧洲所实行的托宾税显然是为了补充国家预算收入。
For example, although the so-called Tobin tax (a small levy on financial transactions) was originally intended to fund development assistance, a version of it was recently adopted in Europe in order to supplement national budget revenues.
其他一些选择涉及各种管制手段,诸如征收一种减缓证券组合投资流入波动的国际税(托宾税),对资本流入进行管制(如智利的无息准 备金政策,要求流入资本需存入中央银行一年时间,而且不支付利息),或 者对证券组合资本流出实行定量管制 — 目前正在对这些
