根据安迪·伯纳姆首相政府的一项提案，英国各市长将获得当地商业税收入增长的20%份额。
Britain’s mayors will be given a 20% share in any revenue growth from local business taxes, under a proposal by Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government.
该政策旨在激励市长们推动其所在地区的开发与经济增长，这是首相国家愿景的核心原则。
The policy is designed to incentivize mayors to boost development and economic growth in their regions, a central tenet of the PM’s vision for the country. Burnham was mayor of Greater Manchester for nine years before replacing Keir Starmer as Labour leader in July.
伯纳姆在7月接替基尔·斯塔默担任工党领袖之前，曾担任大曼彻斯特市长九年。
A budget proposal put forward to local leaders, a summary of which has been seen by Bloomberg, suggests replacing some grants to mayors with income directly from a property-based tax called business rates. The amount of money they receive in future years would then be linked to overall revenues from business rates.
根据彭博社看到的一份提交给地方领导人的预算提案摘要，该计划建议用一种名为商业税率的房产税收入直接取代部分给市长的拨款。
They would also have more autonomy about how to use the investment.
未来几年他们收到的资金数额将与商业税率的总收入挂钩，同时他们在使用这些投资方面也将拥有更大的自主权。通过用基准资金取代拨款，商业税率的初始份额将保持财政中性。在此基础上，市长当局将获得商业税率收入增长的20%。
By replacing grants with a baseline funding, the initial share of business rates would be fiscally neutral. On top of this mayoral authorities would then receive a 20% share of business rates revenue growth. Local economic growth over a certain amount would be levied, with this money used to fund a proposed safety net system to provide a minimum income if business rates revenues were to fall.
超过一定数额的当地经济增长将被征税，这笔资金将用于资助一个拟议的安全网系统，以在商业税率收入下降时提供最低收入保障。
Under the policy, which would come into force next April if approved before the budget, local authority funding will not be impacted and the central government will still retain a 30% share of revenue.
如果该政策在预算前获得批准并于明年4月生效，地方政府的资金将不会受到影响，中央政府仍将保留30%的收入份额。政府未立即回应置评请求。
The government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
