知情人士称：印度国家预算将对几十种商品的进口税提升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.

周一，三位政府知情人士告诉路透社，印在即将到来的国家预算中，打算对包括智能手机、电子元件和电器在内的50多种商品的进口税提升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.

知情人士称，提高关进口税是印度总理莫迪“印度自力更生”运动的一部分，旨在促进和支持国内制造业发展。由于决定还没有正式没有公布，他们要求不透露他们的姓名。

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.

其中一位知情人士称，政府希望通过这些举措获得约2000亿至2100亿卢比(27亿至28亿美元)的额外收入，希望在新冠大流行造成经济放缓的情况下，提振财政收入。

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.

另外两位政府消息人士还表示，关税上调可能会影响家具和电动汽车，将会伤害瑞典家具制造商宜家(Ikea)和特斯拉(Tesla)等公司，后者计划今年在印度推出电动汽车。

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

然而，官员们并没有说明家具和电动汽车的进口税增长幅度。

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对他们的产品在印度已经面临的过高的进口税表示过担忧。

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.

三位消息人士称，提高进口税的商品清单也将包括冰箱和空调等电器。

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

记者无法通过电话联系到财政部，财政部也没有对寻求置评的电子邮件进行回复。

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号，印度财政部长将公布自4月1日开始的2021-22财年印度政府年度财政预算。

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

消息人士称，在最终决定公布之前，这些提议可能还会进一步调整。

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.

在本财年预计印度经济萎缩7.7%的阴影下，财政部长Nirmala Sitharaman将于2月1日公布年度预算。

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.

业内高管表示：印度近年来采取了一系列歧视外国公司的举措。但印度政府官员却表示，此类增税的举措对促进印度本土制造和支持国内企业都至关重要。

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

一位政府知情人士称:“这是增加财政收入和“印度自力更生”计划的一部分。”。

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，印度将鞋类、家具、玩具、电器和电子产品等多种产品的进口税提高了20%。
