今日主播袁勇說:
美國衆議院民主黨議員近日提出了一個新提案,要擴大電動車的稅收抵免,凡是美國工會生産的電動車,每輛車最高可獲得12500美元的稅收抵免,其他大多數電動汽車的減免額度保持在之前的7500美元。
聽到這個消息,豐田和本田兩大日本車企立刻作出回應。
豐田汽車發表聲明稱,該提案歧視選擇不加入工會的美國汽車工人。本田汽車則表示,該提案不公平,不能僅以是否屬于美國工會爲稅收抵免依據,本田與合作夥伴在美國多個州生産電動車,他們理應得到公平和平等的對待。
爲什麽這兩家日本車企持反對態度呢?原來,通用汽車、福特汽車等美國汽車廠均有美國工會代表,因此都能享受到新優惠政策,相比之下,在美國運營的外國汽車制造商都沒有代表工人組織的工會,只能被排除政策之外。稅收減免政策的差異,無疑將削弱日本車企的價格競爭力。
