从2026年1月1日起,美国九个州,包括密苏里州,开始实行较低的所得税制。 Nine U.S. states, including Missouri, are moving to lower income taxes starting January 1, 2026. 密苏里众议院批准了一项宪法修正案,要求到2032年逐步取消4.7%的固定所得税,代之以更广泛的销售税,在目前3%的税率上可增加8%或更多。 Missouri’s House approved a constitutional amendment to phase out its 4.7% flat income tax by 2032, replacing it with a broader sales tax that could add 8% or more to the current 3% rate. 该计划在共和党人的支持下,旨在使税收制度现代化,转向基于消费的税收,同时将汽油从新的税基中豁免。 The plan, supported by Republicans, aims to modernize the tax system and shift to consumption-based taxation, while exempting gasoline from the new tax base. 民主党警告这一变化可能会增加低收入居民的负担,并威胁到公共服务。 Democrats warn the change could increase the burden on low-income residents and threaten public services. 该措施现在提交参议院,并可能面临公民投票。 The measure now goes to the Senate and may face a voter referendum.
