现行希腊的增值税——继续和晨枫抬杠
本帖最后由 财迷心窍 于 2015-7-1 13:39 编辑@晨枫 在 希腊危机：三方集团提议 中提到了三方集团对希腊的提议其中对于增值税VAT的要求是：
新的递进销售税从7月1日起执行，预计增加1%GDP的税收
大部分商品、服务（包括饭店和半成品食品）的销售税23%
基本食品、水电、酒店13%
医药、书籍、娱乐6%
取消对岛民的销售税减免
但问题是这基本就是希腊现在的税率，更准确的说是上届希腊政府已经接受并执行了的条件。
和现行的差别主要是对于爱琴海岛屿的税率和对于餐馆用餐的税率——不过也不是新鲜事，这两条这两年是加了又减，减了又加。医药、书籍、娱乐居然还减税了？
真应该算是人民的胜利了，这轮谈判中希腊一直主张的是食品和水电要差别税率，而债权人要求统一税率。从整体政策上讲Yanis Varoufakis的态度一直是支持加税，反对削减社会福利（养老金）——很自然的社会主义思想。
其实无论最终结果如何，本届希腊政府在谈判桌中已经为希腊人民争取到了一些条件，比如财政盈余，在本谈判前债权人的要求（上届政府接受的）是2015年3%，而现在基本应该已经接受了1%的目标——当然这也可以解释为债权人对于谈判有诚意而现任希腊政府无诚意——取决于你的立场。
看了下最近的发帖，我已经快成了希腊左翼政府在爱坛的代言人了，但这并不是我的本意。不过我确认认为在希腊债务危机过程中，主流媒体的报道很多时候是在有意无意的抹黑希腊人，不完全统计我在爱坛为希腊人的解释包括：
希腊国防部长：不给钱就给恐怖分子发护照
齐普拉斯一上台，第一件事情就是取消中国对比雷埃夫斯港的经营权
希腊人都是游手好闲好吃懒做
希腊人用在吃喝玩乐上的钱和德国人差不多（还多）
希腊人在过去的4年里没有努力去还债，拒绝承担自己的责任，拒绝改革
不过在认为希腊是个奇葩国家这点上应该和 @晨枫 能达成一致观点。请大家学习下希腊的增值税率和近几年来的变化，就可以体会到这点了。
懒的翻译和摘要了。
以下是现行希腊消费税

March 15, 2010: VAT raised to 21 percent, 10 percent and 5 percent.
May 2, 2010: In order to receive an IMF-EU bailout worth 110 million to help Greece meet debt obligations, a second round of austerity measures removed tax exemptions from a number of professions and imposed an additional 10 percent on all tax rates starting July 1.

Rates for the Aegean Islands will be hikes from 4 percent to 5 percent, and 8 percent to 9 percent. Tax on tobacco products will increase by 10-20 percent.

现在奇普拉斯每几个小时就又一张新牌打出来，完全看不出牌路。欧盟方的回应是坚定的，而且都是预料之中的反应。可能要事件过去了，回头看这段时间双方博弈，才会真正体会都是怎么回事。 支持希腊人民 成王败寇。失败者在这个现实的社会中没有发言权。 其实问题的关键是希腊有钱人偷税漏税太厉害了，加增值税啥的都只是敲边鼓。希腊人民总体上从加入欧元得到的好处非常有限，却把家当赔上了。我也在好奇，希腊借的这些钱都到哪里去了？！
