油气价格飙升,欧盟考虑征收能源暴利税

华尔街见闻03-28

伊朗战争导致油气价格上涨,欧盟国家正在考虑是否对能源公司的利润征税。

在周五于布鲁塞尔举行的会议后,欧盟经济事务负责人Valdis Dombrovskis表示,一些欧元区国家的财长提出,可能通过“对暴利征税”(windfall profits tax)来应对价格上涨。据媒体援引知情人士透露,德国和奥地利支持这一措施,欧盟委员会表示将在会议中评估其可行性。奥地利和德国政府未立即回应置评请求。

当前,霍尔木兹海峡实际上处于被关闭状态,导致油气价格大幅飙升。Dombrovskis警告称,这种价格上涨可能引发“滞胀冲击”。

欧盟在2022年已同意实施一项临时税收措施,即所谓的“团结贡献”(solidarity contribution),针对部分能源公司的异常利润征税。当时,俄乌冲突引发了类似的能源价格飙升。

Dombrovskis在周五提到上述俄乌冲突时的措施,作为当前政策的先例。他还表示,欧盟委员会将建议各国降低电力税率,并确保电力税负低于化石燃料,以优化能源税收结构。
