Aquí el comunicado de prensa.
Aquí el detalle de la propuesta.
Lo que más me gusta del planteamiento de Thompson es que le ofrece a las personas físicas la OPCIÓN de permanecer en el sistema actual u optar por un sistema más sencillo basado en dos tasas únicas. En caso de tomar esta última ruta, quienes ganan menos de $50,000 dólares pagarían 10% de sus ingresos; quienes rebasen este nivel de ingresos pagarían 25%.
Aquí el texto de esta parte de la propuesta:
The Thompson plan would give Americans greater choice about how to pay their federal taxes. This plan is based on a proposal developed by the House of Representatives Republican Study Committee that would provide taxpayers the option of remaining under the current, complex tax code or opting for a simplified, flat tax code. The simplified tax code would contain two tax rates: 10% for joint filers on income of up to $100,000 ($50,000 for singles) and 25% on income above these amounts. The standard deduction would be more than doubled to $25,000 for joint filers and $12,500 for singles. The personal exemption amount would be increased to $3,500. Therefore, a family of 4 would be exempt from income tax on the first $39,000 of income. The simplified tax code would contain no other tax credits or deductions. It would also retain the 15% tax rate on capital gains and dividends. This approach would dramatically simplify taxes for tens of millions of Americans. In addition, the larger standard deduction and personal exemption amounts will still provide significant tax relief to families with children.
PD. Una reforma tributaria en este sentido (que reduzca tasas y simplifique procedimientos) si puede generar mayor crecimiento económico por razones expuestas anteriormente.
