知情人士稱：印度國家預算將對幾十種商品的進口税提升5%-10%不等

India is considering hiking import duties by 5%- 10% on more than 50 items including smartphones, electronic components and appliances in the upcoming budget, three government sources privy to the discussions told Reuters on Monday.

週一，三位政府知情人士告訴路透社，印在即將到來的國家預算中，打算對包括智能手機、電子元件和電器在內的50多種商品的進口税提升5%- 10%。

The move to increase import duties is part of PM Narendra Modi’s self-reliant India campaign that aims to promote and support domestic manufacturing, said the sources, who asked not to be named as the discussions are not public.

知情人士稱，提高關進口税是印度總理莫迪“印度自力更生”運動的一部分，旨在促進和支持國內製造業發展。由於決定還沒有正式沒有公佈，他們要求不透露他們的姓名。

One of the sources said the government was seeking to target additional revenue of about Rs 200 billion to 210 billion ($2.7 billion to $2.8 billion) from the moves, as it looks to shore up revenue amidst the pandemic-driven slowdown that has stung the economy.

其中一位知情人士稱，政府希望通過這些舉措獲得約2000億至2100億盧比(27億至28億美元)的額外收入，希望在新冠大流行造成經濟放緩的情況下，提振財政收入。

Two of the government sources also said the duty hikes could impact furniture and electric vehicles, potentially hurting the likes of Swedish furniture maker Ikea and Tesla, which is planning to launch its cars in India this year.

另外兩位政府消息人士還表示，關税上調可能會影響傢俱和電動汽車，將會傷害瑞典傢俱製造商宜家(Ikea)和特斯拉(Tesla)等公司，後者計劃今年在印度推出電動汽車。

The officials, however, did not specify how much of a hike was planned on furniture and electric vehicles.

然而，官員們並沒有説明傢俱和電動汽車的進口税增長幅度。

Both Ikea and Tesla executives have previously expressed concerns about the steep duty structure their products already face in India.

在此之前，宜家和特斯拉的高管都對他們的產品在印度已經面臨的過高的進口税表示過擔憂。

The list of items likely to attract steeper duties is set to include appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners too, three of the sources said.

三位消息人士稱，提高進口税的商品清單也將包括冰箱和空調等電器。

The finance ministry could not be reached by telephone and did not reply to an email seeking comments.

記者無法通過電話聯繫到財政部，財政部也沒有對尋求置評的電子郵件進行回覆。

India’ s finance minister will on Feb 1 unveil the government’s annual federal budget for the 2021-22 financial year, which begins April 1.

2月1號，印度財政部長將公佈自4月1日開始的2021-22財年印度政府年度財政預算。

The sources said the proposals may still be tweaked further before they are finalised.

消息人士稱，在最終決定公佈之前，這些提議可能還會進一步調整。

FM Nirmala Sitharaman will unveil the budget on Feb 1 amid the shadow of a projected economic contraction of 7.7% for the current fiscal year.

在本財年預計印度經濟萎縮7.7%的陰影下，財政部長Nirmala Sitharaman將於2月1日公佈年度預算。

India has in recent years taken a series of measures that industry executives say discriminate against foreign companies. Government officials say such taxes are essential to promote India as a destination for local manufacturing and to support domestic businesses.

業內高管表示：印度近年來採取了一系列歧視外國公司的舉措。但印度政府官員卻表示，此類增税的舉措對促進印度本土製造和支持國內企業都至關重要。

“This is part of revenue raising and Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) plan,” said one of the government sources.

一位政府知情人士稱:“這是增加財政收入和“印度自力更生”計劃的一部分。”。

Last year, India raised import taxes on a wide range of products such as footwear, furniture, toys, electrical and electronics items by up to 20%.

去年，印度將鞋類、傢俱、玩具、電器和電子產品等多種產品的進口税提高了20%。
