瑞士议员已支持对系统性重要银行征收新的特别税，这是对该国最大贷款人瑞银集团（UBS Group AG）的最新打击。
Swiss lawmakers have backed a new special tax for systemically important banks, in the latest blow to the country’s largest lender UBS Group AG.
瑞士经济事务和税务委员会秘书处（WAK）周二在一份声明中表示，已原则上支持对在海外有重大业务的主要银行征收一次性费用，这将使这些银行在‘太大而不能倒’监管框架下获得公共流动性担保的资格。
The Swiss Secretariat of the Economic Affairs and Taxation Committees (WAK) voted to support in principle a lump-sum fee for major banks with substantial foreign operations, which would grant the firms access to public liquidity guarantees under “too big to fail” regulation, the government said in a statement Tuesday.
通过仅对具有全球业务单位的系统性重要银行征收该税，议员们表明该税仅适用于UBS — — 在其救助式收购瑞信之后，UBS是唯一仍存的此类贷款人。UBS拒绝置评。
By supporting the levy only for systemically-important banks with global units, the lawmakers are signaling the tax would apply solely to UBS — the last remaining such lender after its rescue takeover of Credit Suisse. UBS declined to comment.
这是UBS在抵御更严格监管过程中遭遇的又一挫折。上个月，瑞士议会上院投票决定，要求具有海外子公司的系统性重要银行必须用一级核心资本支持其90%的海外投资。这些规则（包括该特别税）在被制定之前仍需经历漫长的议会程序。
This is yet another setback for UBS in its fight against more stringent regulation. Last month, the Swiss parliament’s upper house voted to mandate that systemically-important banks with foreign subsidiaries must back 90% of those overseas investments with Common Equity Tier 1 capital. These rules, including the special tax, face a long process through parliament before they can be enacted.
瑞士银行业游说团体表示，支持公共流动性后盾，但坚决反对新税，因为银行无法申请获得该后盾资金的使用权。“部署该后盾的决定仅在危机发生时由当局单独作出，且须符合严格的法律要求，”瑞士银行协会在一份电子邮件声明中表示。
Switzerland’s banking lobby said it supports the public liquidity backstop but firmly rejects the new tax, since banks cannot make a claim to the backstop funding. “The decision to deploy it rests solely with the authorities in the event of a crisis and is subject to strict legal requirements,” the Swiss Bankers Association said in an emailed statement.
“此外，在破产事件中，瑞士国家银行相较于其他债权人享有特权地位，”该游说团体称。
“Furthermore, the Swiss National Bank enjoys a privileged position relative to other creditors in the event of a bankruptcy,” the lobby group said.
