營業稅大幅修訂

市府是否應取消薪資支出稅;對某些企業的註冊費永久提高230至460元,對某些企業的註冊費則降低;將總收入稅稅率永久提高到0.105至1.040%,豁免更多小企業繳納此稅;將行政辦公室稅稅率永久提高到1.61%;如果市府在某些訴訟中敗訴,則對某些企業的總收入稅稅率提高0.175至0.690%,行政辦公室稅稅率提高1.5%,以及對商業租賃的總收入課徵一項1%或3.5%的新稅,為期20年;以及進行其他營業稅變更;估計可帶來9700萬元年度收入?

摘要 由選票簡釋委員會撰寫

現況:市府向三藩市的企業徵收稅金,包括: 

• 薪資支出稅; 

• 總收入稅; 

• 行政辦公室稅; 

• 年度企業註冊費; 

• 托兒與教育商業租金稅(下稱托兒稅);以及

• 無家可歸者總收入稅(下稱無家可歸者稅)。

托兒稅與無家可歸者稅已在法庭受到質疑,及透過這些稅項收到的資金市府並未使用。

州法對市府每年可以使用的收入數額設有上限,包括稅金收入。州法授權讓三藩市選民批准將此上限額調高,為期四年。 

建議:提案F會變更市府向三藩市企業徵收的某些稅項,包括: 

• 取消薪資支出稅; 

• 分階段調高總收入稅率,擴大小企業豁免繳稅,以及取消企業在別處繳納類似稅項的抵稅優惠。 

• 分階段調高行政辦公室稅率;以及

• 更改企業註冊費。

如果未達到三藩市總收入最低數額,對總收入稅率和行政辦公室稅率的一些變更會受到延誤。

根據提案F,除非滿足某些條件時,其他變更才會生效: 

• 如果市府在托兒稅訴訟中敗訴,將要求市府須對某些商業空間租賃的總收入徵收一項新稅; 

• 如果市府在無家可歸者稅訴訟中敗訴,將調高某些企業的總收入稅率和行政辦公室稅率;以及

• 如果市府在其中一項賦稅訴訟中敗訴,將修改市憲章以更改基準經費的計算方式。

提案F會調高市府支出上限,為期四年。

投「贊成」票的意思是:如果您投「贊成」票,即表示您同意: 

• 取消市府的薪資支出稅; 

• 分階段調高總收入稅率和行政辦公室稅率; 

• 降低某些小企業的營業稅;以及

• 如果市府在托兒與教育商業租金稅或是無家可歸者總收入稅的訴訟中敗訴,會進一步提高市府的營業稅,但在確定基準經費時,排除從這些增稅中收到的資金。

投「反對」票的意思是:如果您投「反對」票,即表示您反對進行這些變更。

市主計官對提案「F」的意見書

市主計官Ben Rosenfield就提案F對本市財政的影響發表以下聲明: 

在我看來,如果建議的市憲章修正案與法令合併提案獲得選民通過,一旦全面實施,每年可能持續地為市府帶來大約9700萬元額外年收入。這些收益會存入市府的普通基金。此外,建議的提案允許大約15億元的短期一次性支出,該筆金額由兩項目前已徵收的稅金產生,這筆稅金正在等待訴訟期間被扣押。

建議的法令將以數種方式修改本市現有營業與稅務法規,包括停止市府的薪資支出稅,提高總收入營業稅率,以及增加可免繳營業稅的小企業數量。某些行業整體營業稅率有所提高,通常從2022稅務年度開始在三年期間分階段調高。建議針對受到目前經濟情況劇烈衝擊的其他行業暫時降低其2021、2022和2023稅務年度的稅率,包括接待業、餐飲業和零售業所繳納的稅率。預估收入數額反映出市府收入相比於現有營業稅結構的預期變化,以及司法裁決可能影響目前取得收入。

如果目前專為無家可歸者服務和托兒服務課徵的兩項稅被法庭推翻,建議的法令授權徵收備用稅。建議的替代稅在結構上與上述專用稅類似。這項提案會將備用稅產生的收入,排除在公交、公園、青少年服務以及其他撥備金和基準金等各種須由選民通過的最低開支要求的計算範圍。

特別注意,營業稅根據經濟情況可能有大幅變化,而目前的估計可能無法預測未來收入。

提案「F」如何被列入選票

2020年7月28日,市議會以11票對0票通過將提案F列入選票。市議員的投票情況如下: 

贊成:Fewer、Haney、Mandelman、Mar、Peskin、 Preston、Ronen、Safai、Stefani、Walton、Yee。

反對:無。

本提案需要有50%+1的贊成票才能獲得通過。

以上陳述為本提案的公正分析。選票摘要中用到的一些名詞請參閱 「名詞解釋」的說明。
贊成提案 F 的論據

投票贊成提案F,小企業與經濟復甦法案! 

當新型冠狀病毒疫情重創本市的健康和經濟,加深差距,並將處於掙扎中的家庭和企業逼到絕境,我們所面臨的挑戰是前所未有的。因此,我們需要通過提案F,小企業與經濟復甦法案,它將幫助迅速啟動我們的經濟,創造一個更公平的營業稅制度,並提供新收入用於重要的市政服務,我們需要這些服務才能從這場疫情中復甦過來。提案F還會解鎖7億多元目前未動用的資金,雖然選民已批准將這些資金用於托兒與教育、無家可歸者服務和重要市政服務。

我們現在比以往更需要通過提案F,正因如此,這項提案獲得市長、市議會全體議員、以及由勞工組織、小企業和社區組織等組成的廣泛聯盟的支持。

提案F將能: 

• 對受新型冠狀病毒疫情影響程度最大的行業提供稅收減免,包括零售業、餐廳、藝術和製造業; 

• 取消薪資稅並全部轉到一種更公平的營業稅制度。

• 豁免小企業繳納總收入稅; 

• 釋出7億多元資金用於托兒與早期教育、無家可歸者服務和其他重要服務;以及

• 創造新收入用以保護並維持重要市政服務,這些服務因為新型冠狀病毒疫情預計造成15億元赤字而岌岌可危。

提案F能立即幫助陷入困境的小企業和工薪家庭,並同時創造我們需要的投資以復甦經濟,為未來帶來更強大、更公平的經濟。

投票贊成提案F,小企業與經濟復甦法案!

反駁贊成提案 F 的論據

請投票反對提案F。

當新型冠狀病毒疫情重創三藩市的健康和經濟,加深差距,並將處於掙扎中的家庭和企業逼到絕境,我們理所當然是面臨前所未有的挑戰。

提案贊成者宣稱提案F將幫助快速啟動我們的經濟,創造一個更公平的營業稅制度,提供新收入用於重要市政服務,並解鎖之前批准的7億多元稅金。

我支持更公平的營業稅制度和充裕的收入用於重要市政服務,當您讀到這句話時,明年、或是十年後,我們不知道還有多少家企業仍然存在於三藩市。我們也不知道哪些類型的企業還會在本市,它們會僱用多少人,以及人們以何種方式在這些企業工作。世界此刻充滿變數。

鑒於這樣極度的不確定性,我不認為現在是重組我們本地營業稅的最佳時機。雖然它可能具有若干正面效果,但也可能比平靜時期具有更大的不可預期的結果。增加確定性、可預期性和穩定性,並且減少市府收入的波動,都是好的想法。選民們可在兩年後再次考慮這項提案,如果世界出現新的常態,屆時選民可透過市憲章修正案和分開的法令予以通過,而非採用現在這樣的合併提案形式。

請投票反對提案F。感謝您。

反對提案 F 的論據

請投票反對提案F。

提案F是對本市現行營業稅所進行的一項冗長且複雜的大幅修訂。雖然它大體上而言是一個好構想,但我們難以了解它目前對於特定企業以及對於本市整體上的影響程度。我一點也不相信疫情期間有必要對複雜的稅率進行更改。依我之見,提案F並非我們此刻需要的解決方案。

我也不認同這項選票提案的市憲章修正案與法令的合併形式。雖然這兩部分可能密切相關,但我認為它們應分為兩項個別提案,或許加上「兩項提案皆通過時每一部分才能生效」的措辭。將市憲章變更和法令混合在一起並非最佳做法,不應獲得您的支持。 

請投票反對提案F。感謝您。

反駁反對提案 F 的論據

通過提案F帶來的影響很簡單──它將立即對三藩市的小企業和家庭提供紓困和支持。而新型冠狀病毒疫情使得通過這項提案更加迫切。

透過取消薪資稅,提案F鼓勵企業再度僱用人手。透過豁免小企業某些稅,提案F讓這些企業有機會重新站穩腳步,避免倒閉。透過向零售業、餐廳、藝術和製造業提供稅收減免,提案F幫助重建受新型冠狀病毒疫情打擊最沉重的行業。

同時透過立即釋出7億多元尚未運用的資金,提案F投資於托兒與教育、無家可歸者服務和其他重要市政服務,並估計創造約5500個工作。

通過提案F能確保三藩市的重建,為未來建立一個更強大、更公平的經濟。

投票贊成提案F,小企業與經濟復甦。

贊成提案F的付費論據

三藩市護兒兒童服務和兒童權益理事會是本市的托兒資源和轉介機構,為全市的家庭提供學前教育和托兒選擇。這項選票提案將使我們更能幫助三藩市的所有兒童發揮他們最大的潛力。孩子的郵遞區號、族裔或收入水平不應決定他們獲得最佳開端的機會。然而,即使在像教育這樣的基本權利上,獲取資源的障礙仍然持續界定潛力。研究表明,當孩子從第一天起就能獲得針對需求的教育時,他們在上幼稚園時不僅準備更充分,而且還能在學校和生活中展現自己的潛力。

目前,學前教育和托兒服務供不應求。因此,數以千計的幼兒被列在候補名單上,而不是在教室裡。我們的兒童需要照顧和教育,以滿足他們在每個發展階段的需要,但我們卻沒有為托兒工作人員和基礎設施提供充分的資金,因此剝奪了最年幼學習者的權利。

隨著三藩市的生活成本不斷升高,年幼的孩子和他們的家庭正在遷離這座城市。三藩市的豐富多元性有賴於一個充滿各種年齡、背景、收入水準和興趣的社區。三藩市不能成為一個人們只是來工作的城市。它必須仍舊是一個千家萬戶落地生根、欣欣向榮的地方。如果沒有托兒服務,父母和監護人就無法賺取收入;如果沒有學前教育工作人員,托兒服務就無法存在。這項選票提案使三藩市成為兒童、教育工作者和工薪家庭生活和繁榮的更好地方。

華美和啟明是三藩市的兒童發展中心,為本市一些收入最低的家庭和他們的孩子提供服務。 這項選票提案對於改善三藩市最年輕市民在托兒和資源方面的差距至關重要。百分之九十的腦部發育在五歲之前完成。幼兒應該享有城市所能提供的每一項教育投資。幼教(ECE)行業的資金嚴重不足,工資和薪水最低,而且等待提供托兒服務的人很多。

提案F將釋出4.33億美元的幼教經費,直接用於支持和改善三藩市0-5歲兒童接受優質托兒和教育的機會,並提高幼教專業人員的薪酬,其中大部分是婦女和有色人種婦女。 幼教作為一項服務,是三藩市基礎設施和經濟的重要和關鍵部分。幼教工作者在支持家庭,以及在孩子生命中最關鍵的幾年提供教育方面扮演了關鍵的角色。

提案F將確保幼教工作者獲得足夠的資源,繼續在這個重要的領域工作,為兒童提供優質的學前教育。這項選票提案也將釋出資金,用於清空三藩市托兒服務的候補名單。我們的孩子指望我們的照顧;這項選票提案為我們提供了這種機會。

三藩市社區住房委員會組織敦促對提案F投贊成票。

作為三藩市可負擔房屋提供者和住房正義組織的聯盟,我們很高興終於看到市政府做出全面承諾,為2018年選民授權的「我們的城市我們的家園」提供充分資金,這是唯一能使無家可歸問題顯著改觀的解決方案 -- 為無家可歸的個人和有子女的家庭提供永久住房和支援性服務。

幼教(ECE)是拉丁裔幼兒、其家庭和我們社區教育公正和公平的核心。幼教使我們的幼兒具備在學校和生活中取得成功所需的社會、情感和認知能力,同時讓父母能夠外出工作。幼教行業是學前教育工作者和小企業主的主要就業來源。

提案F將確保2,500名等待受資助幼教的幼兒 — 其中40%是拉丁裔 — 能獲得優質的學前教育。如果沒有這樣的教育,我們的孩子在上幼稚園時就會落後,導致一生的不公平結果。除非父母能讓孩子享有可靠的幼教服務,否則他們無法工作,導致食品、住房和健康無法獲得保障,並使米慎區和各個脆弱的三藩市社區無法穩定。提案F也將提高4,000名幼教工作者的工資,其中40%是移民,以公平地補償他們在確保三藩市運轉的重要角色。

小商業需要提案F 

COVID-19疫情已經迫使三藩市至少八十家商業關門,估計到今年年底,只有不到40%的小商業能夠繼續營業。我們需要通過F提案,即《小商業與經濟復甦法案》。 

提案F為三藩市的小企業提供直接的救濟。它會廢除薪資稅,並降低小企業和受疫情影響最大的企業(如餐廳、零售、製造業、藝術機構和酒店)的稅率。 

小企業是我們城市的支柱。現在,我們需要對提案F投贊成票來支持他們。

CPAC與三藩市合作,確定幼教(ECE)的當地優先事項和政策。這項選票提案至關重要,可以透過為我們最年輕的人口提供托兒和相關資源來彌補學前教育的差距。大腦百分之九十的發育在五歲之前完成,然而托兒教育工作者是收入最低的勞動力,遠遠低於K-12的老師。此外,還有數千名兒童列在三藩市托兒服務候補名單上。

幼教工作者是重要工作者,也是三藩市經濟的支柱。需要增加薪酬,以維持熟練和穩定的勞動力,為我們的孩子、家庭和社區提供福利。

提案F將向幼教工作者提供更多資金,以支持他們繼續工作,並提供資金來清空三藩市幼兒服務候補名單,確保三藩市最年幼的孩子在他們最關鍵的年紀有機會接受優質的學前教育。我們的孩子指望我們的照顧,這項選票提案為我們提供了這種機會。

目前,可負擔托兒服務依賴低工資的工作者,主要是有色人種婦女。家長無法支付真正的托兒費用,包括提供服務者的維生工資。這不是長久之計。

三藩市的兒童由1,000多個托兒中心和家庭托兒所的教育工作者提供服務,其中一半以上擁有大學學位,但是收入僅高於最低工資。三藩市家庭托兒協會(FCCASF)和三藩市早期護理教育工作者(ECESF)托兒中心和家庭托兒教育工作者的代表。超過80%的學前教育工作者是有色人種婦女。這些婦女致力為自己社區的幼兒提供教育。她們認識到,在孩子學習英語並過渡到小學之前,讓他們留在社區裡,離家近,在支持使用家庭語言的教室學習,有利於孩子成長。

小型托兒所是許多幼兒家長的首選,特別是對於需要及時照顧的嬰幼兒。在目前疫情期間需要安全的空間時更是如此。嬰幼兒照護和小型托兒所屬於勞動密集型,因此費用昂貴;即使是中等收入的父母也難以負擔。FCCASF和ECESF支持提案F,為中低收入的父母和提供這項基本服務的幼教人員提供急需的資金。

多年來,我們一直努力確保三藩市的預算能夠保障選民核准的最高優先事項 — 兒童、圖書館、老人服務、公園、MUNI和學校。提案F將繼續保障這些優先事項,也確保為托兒和無家可歸服務提供更多急需的資源。

我們是一個由黑人幼教工作者和社區成員組成的聯盟。提案F將確保三藩市的黑人兒童和學前教育工作者擁有必要的資源,以支持這個長期以來被剝奪了通往成功之路的社區。三藩市兒童委員會每年為4,000個極低收入的家庭提供托兒資訊、服務轉介和補貼援助,其中33%為非裔美國人(1,320個家庭)。儘管如此,三藩市仍有超過500名低收入黑人兒童列在托兒服務的候補名單上。最新的入學準備報告(2019年)顯示,只有47%的黑人兒童被認為「準備好」上幼稚園。2018年三藩市公共衛生局報告,黑人兒童和家庭的貧困率最高,收入中位數最低,大學畢業生比例最低,預期壽命也最低。 

黑人學前工作者為幼兒提供關鍵和基本服務時,也面臨了巨大的挑戰。2019年,托兒就業研究中心發現,50%的黑人學前教育工作者的生活貧困,而且無論他們的教育程度如何,都是勞動力中收入最低的成員。

這項選票提案將確保黑人兒童和黑人教育工作者開始獲得他們應得的教育投資和照顧。隨著這些資金的發放,三藩市可以支持黑人兒童邁出他們終身學習的第一步。剝奪黑人兒童對美好未來希望的系統性經濟差距,將從這個提案開始改觀。這些資金對於建立成功的基礎至關重要。請投票贊成提案F!

目前我們正面臨無家可歸的人禍,以及一種要為我們的鄰居做正確的事的道德挑戰。兩年前,三藩市通過了「我們的城市,我們的家園」,這意味著數百萬美元將會用於為無住房的兒童、青年和成人提供住房和治療,但現在卻由於法庭訴訟而被擱置。今天,我們需要通過提案F,以實現對住房和治療的投資承諾。 

提案F為我們提供了一個歷史性的機會,讓我們解鎖這些資金,為本市設定一個更好的方向。 它正帶領我們邁向一個更偉大、更遼闊的城市,其中愛與包容代表的不僅僅是廣泛被採納的價值觀,而是會創造一個被珍視的環境,當中的每一個人都分享著「家」的熾熱、安全和尊嚴。

起初,我們對「營業稅改革」提案抱有希望。誰不想徹底改革和精簡一個旨在從本地商業盡可能勒索錢財、錯綜複雜的規則體系呢? 

不幸的是,當我們仔細閱讀本提案的125頁法律條文時,我們的熱情開始減弱......我們的雙眼開始流淚......。

我們最擔心的事情被市主計官辦公室證實了。這是一項每年約9,700萬美元的大規模增稅措施。它也允許立即花費額外的15億美元,由於非法徵稅,這些錢已被法院扣押。 

我們永遠不應該從我們辛勤工作的居民和企業那裡拿錢,特別是在他們陷入困境的時候。

Section 1.  The Board of Supervisors hereby submits to the qualified voters of the City and County, at an election to be held on November 3, 2020, a proposal to amend the Charter of the City and County by revising Sections 8A.105, 16.107, 16.108, 16.109, 16.110, 16.123-2, 16.128-3, and 16.129, to read as follows:

SEC. 8A.105.  MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION FUND.

(a)  There is hereby established a fund to provide a predictable, stable, and adequate level of funding for the Agency, which shall be called the Municipal Transportation Fund.  The fund shall be maintained separate and apart from all other City and County funds.  Monies therein shall be appropriated, expended, or used by the Agency solely and exclusively for the operation including, without limitation, capital improvements, management, supervision, maintenance, extension, and day-to-day operation of the Agency, including any division subsequently created or incorporated into the Agency and performing transportation-related functions.  Monies in the Fund may not be used for any other purposes than those identified in this Section 8A.105. 

(b)  Beginning with the fiscal year 2000-2001 and in each fiscal year thereafter, there is hereby set aside to the Municipal Transportation Fund the following: 

1.  An amount (the “Base Amount”) which shall be no less than the amount of all appropriations from the General Fund, including all supplemental appropriations, for the fiscal year 1998-1999 or the fiscal year 1999-2000, whichever is higher (the “Base Year”), adjusted as provided in subsection (c), below, for (1) the Municipal Railway; and (2) all other City and County commissions, departments and agencies providing services to the Municipal Railway, including the Department of Human Resources and the Purchasing Department, for the provision of those services.  The Base Amount for the Department of Parking and Traffic and the Parking Authority shall be established in the same fashion but using fiscal years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 for the services being incorporated into the Agency.

2.  Subject to the limitations and exclusions in Sections 4.113, the revenues of the Municipal Railway, and, upon their incorporation into the Agency, the revenues of the Department of Parking and Traffic, and the Parking Authority; and 

3.  All other funds received by the City and County from any source, including state and federal sources, for the support of the Agency. 

(c)  The Base Amount shall initially be determined by the Controller.  Adjustments to the Base Amount shall be made as follows:

1.  The Base Amount shall be adjusted for each year after fiscal year 2000-2001 by the Controller based on calculations consistent from year to year, by the percentage increase or decrease in aggregate City and County discretionary revenues.  In determining aggregate City and County discretionary revenues, the Controller shall only include revenues received by the City which are unrestricted and may be used at the option of the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors for any lawful City purpose.  Additionally, in determining aggregate City and County discretionary revenues, the Controller shall not include revenues received by the City under the increased rates in Business and Tax Regulations Code Sections 953.1(g), 953.2(h), 953.3(h), 953.4(e), 953.5(d), 953.6(f), 953.7(d), and 953.8(i) adopted by the voters at the general municipal election on November 3, 2020, and shall not include revenues received by the City under Article 36 of the Business and Tax Regulations Code adopted by the voters at the general municipal election on November 3, 2020.  Errors in the Controller’s estimate of discretionary revenues for a fiscal year shall be corrected by adjustment in the next year’s estimate. 

2.  An adjustment shall also be made for any increases in General Fund appropriations to the Agency in subsequent years to provide continuing services not provided in the Base Year, but excluding additional appropriations for one-time expenditures such as capital expenditures or litigation judgments and settlements. 

3.  Commencing with the fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015, the Controller shall also adjust the Base Amount annually by the percentage increase in the San Francisco population based on data from the source(s) the Controller, in his or her sole discretion, finds most reliable for the most recent available calendar year.  The Controller’s population growth adjustment shall be based on the greater of the increase in daytime or night-time population.  For any year in which the Controller determines that neither the daytime nor night-time population has increased, the Controller shall make no adjustment under this subparagraph 3 to the Base Amount.  For purposes of the initial adjustment for the year commencing July 1, 2015, the Controller shall adjust the Base Amount based on the increase in City daytime or night-time population for the most recent ten-year period for which data are available instead of the most recent available calendar year.  The Agency shall use the amount of any increase in the Base Amount resulting from the adjustment required by this subparagraph 3 exclusively as follows: 75 per cent shall be used to make transit system improvements to the Municipal Railway to improve the system’s reliability, frequency of service, capacity, and state of good repair, and 25 per cent shall be used for transportation capital expenditures to improve street safety for all users.

*   *   *   *

SEC. 16.107.  PARK, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FUND.

(a)  Establishment of Fund.  There is hereby established the Park, Recreation and Open Space Fund (“Fund”) to be administered by the Recreation and Park Department (“Department”) as directed by the Recreation and Park Commission (“Commission”).  Monies in the Fund shall be expended or used solely by the Department, subject to the budgetary and fiscal provisions of the Charter, to provide park and recreational services and facilities.  The Department embraces socio-economic and geographic equity as a guiding principle and commits to expending the funds across its open space and recreational programs to provide park and recreational access to all of San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods and communities.

*   *   *   *

(c)  Baseline Maintenance of Effort.  The annual set-aside shall be used exclusively to increase the aggregate City appropriations to and expenditures by the Recreation and Park Department for Department purposes.  To this end, beginning in fiscal year 2016-2017 and thereafter through fiscal year 2045-2046, the City shall not reduce the baseline general fund support amount appropriated to the Department below the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2015-2016, as calculated by the Controller, except that the baseline amount shall be adjusted as follows:

(1)  Each year in fiscal years 2016-2017 through 2025-2026, the City shall increase the baseline appropriation by $3 million over the prior year.

(2)  Each year in fiscal years 2026-2027 through 2045-2046, the City shall adjust the baseline by the percentage increase or decrease in aggregate City discretionary revenues, as determined by the Controller, based on calculations consistent from year to year.  In determining aggregate City discretionary revenues, the Controller shall only include revenues received by the City which are unrestricted and may be used at the option of the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors for any lawful City purpose.  Additionally, in determining aggregate City discretionary revenues, the Controller shall not include revenues received by the City under the increased rates in Business and Tax Regulations Code Sections 953.1(g), 953.2(h), 953.3(h), 953.4(e), 953.5(d), 953.6(f), 953.7(d), and 953.8(i) adopted by the voters at the general municipal election on November 3, 2020, and shall not include revenues received by the City under Article 36 of the Business and Tax Regulations Code adopted by the voters at the general municipal election on November 3, 2020.  The Controller is authorized to increase or reduce budgetary appropriations as required by this subsection (c) to align the baseline amount to the amount required by formula based on actual revenues received during the fiscal year.
