爱尔兰财政委员会警告不要将波动的苹果税意外收益用于长期基础设施,敦促实行财政纪律。 Ireland's fiscal council warns against using volatile Apple tax windfalls for long-term infrastructure, urging fiscal discipline.

爱尔兰的预算监督机构爱尔兰财政咨询理事会(IFAC)警告不要利用不稳定的公司税收意外收益(如苹果140亿欧元)来资助长期基础设施支出。 Ireland’s budgetary watchdog, the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC), has warned against using volatile corporation tax windfalls—like the €14 billion from Apple—to fund long-term infrastructure spending. 国际会计师联合会主席Seamus Coffey说,最近公司税收的近90%现在用于经常开支,从60%增加到60%,这引起了对财政可持续性的关切。 IFAC chair Seamus Coffey said nearly 90% of recent corporation tax revenue is now spent on current expenses, up from 60%, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability. 政府计划在十年内对基础设施投资2 754亿欧元,部分资金来自意外收入和资产销售,但国际会计师联合会强调,新支出必须由其他方面增加的收入抵消,例如扩大税基。 The government plans to invest €275.4 billion in infrastructure over ten years, partly funded by the windfall and asset sales, but IFAC stresses that new spending must be offset by revenue increases elsewhere, such as broadening the tax base. 理事会告诫不要超支,指出教育和卫生预算超支,敦促采取反周期财政政策,为今后的经济衰退、人口老龄化和气候挑战做好准备。 The council cautioned against overspending, citing budget overruns in education and health, and urged counter-cyclical fiscal policy to prepare for future economic downturns, aging population, and climate challenges. 财政部长西蒙·哈里斯(Simon Harris)承认国际会计师联合会的建议,支持固定支出限额以确保长期财政责任。 Finance Minister Simon Harris acknowledged IFAC’s advice, supporting a fixed spending limit to ensure long-term fiscal responsibility.
