When Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen convened a high-level security meeting at the end of last year, she said that Taiwan’s overtaxed taxes will exceed 450 billion yuan (NT$, the same below) in 2022, and the initial plan is to use the remaining NT$180 billion. 0 billion, "feasible solutions to be shared with the whole people" will be discussed in due course, and it is interpreted by the outside world that cash or consumer coupons are expected to be popularized. However, she also said yesterday that "money must be spent wisely, and precious resources should be given priority to assist high-risk industries and people in need", which aroused doubts from all walks of life.
Lai Shibao, a "legislator" of the Chinese Kuomintang, criticized "the government's tens of millions of taxes" and over-taxation of hundreds of billions of dollars but unwilling to repay the taxes to the people. "Is it fair to blatantly steal money from the people?" "Blue Committee" Li Guimin also believes that the DPP authorities go back on their word, change orders at night, and often make the people happy in vain. Zhu Lilun, chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang, called on Mr. Jin to "stop causing trouble to the people."
Taiwan People’s Party Chairman Ke Wenzhe blasted that politics must be honest, which is a typical deception. People's Party "Legislator" Chen Wanhui also criticized that Tsai Ing-wen just said "shared by all" a few days ago, but yesterday it became "universal evil ( Hokkien , sorry)", and she asked everyone to understand her change of words.
Senior media person Zhao Shaokang even pointed out that if the DPP does not distribute money, it is simply a fraud group and the Golden Light Party. This move is like the DPP's claim to "peacefully protect Taiwan", but Tsai Ing-wen is unwilling to give up the roundabout "Taiwan independence" route, and Lai Qingde is unwilling to give up being a "pragmatic Taiwan independence worker."
British "legislator" Wang Meihui also expressed her voice in a Facebook post, asking Tsai Ing-wen to sympathize with the pressure on the lives of grassroots people, pointing out that overtaxation is a fact, and as the Lunar New Year is approaching, the people need to "return taxes to the people", and once again called for universal cash.
Regarding Taiwan’s overtaxation exceeding 450 billion yuan in 2022, Chen Guoliang, a professor at the Department of Finance at National Chengchi University, issued an article pointing out that such an outrageous overtaxation figure indicates that the Taiwan authorities’ budget procedures have failed and digital management has failed. The over-levied taxes for that year are not included in the budget. Once the administrative departments have discretionary space in scheduling and use, they are not subject to the supervision of the legislative body. As a result, the over-levied taxes seem to be wearing the "invisibility cloak" in the novel " Harry Potter " and become an "invisible budget", forming a breach in fiscal discipline.
In addition, Chen Guoliang said that the most worrying thing is that if the over-taxation is a structural problem and the people "inexplicably" pay more taxes under the outdated and old tax system, then the over-taxation is "illegal wealth."
