凯瑟琳·格里菲斯和汤姆·麦肯齐报道：摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙表示，任何仅对英国本土银行征收暴利税而豁免国际银行的计划都是不公平的。
Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said any UK plan that would impose a windfall tax solely on British lenders and exempt international lenders would be unfair.
戴蒙周二在接受彭博电视采访时表示：“我不赞成缺乏原则的事情”，并认为税收政策需要公平和一致。“说‘向这边的朋友收费’很容易，但我认为这是错误的。”戴蒙称，英国已经拥有“可能是世界上最高的银行税率”，并再次警告，任何暴利税都可能阻碍英国的增长前景。
“I’m not in favor of things that lack principle,” Dimon said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg TV, arguing tax policy needs to be fair and consistent. “It’s easy to say charge my friends over here, I think that’s wrong.”The UK already has “the highest tax rate for banks probably in the world,” Dimon said, as he again warned that any windfall tax would likely hamper the UK’s growth prospects.
他的言论正值伦敦金融城的一些人士担心政府可能利用本月的预算案对国内银行的利润征收暴利税，同时豁免国际银行在英国的业务。
His comments come as some in the City of London are said to be concerned the government may use this month’s budget to levy a windfall tax on the profits of domestic banks while excluding the UK operations of international lenders are exempted.
周二早些时候，英国财政大臣约翰·希利告诉英国大型银行行长，他尚未决定是否在本月预算案中对该行业征税。
Earlier on Tuesday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey told the heads of Britain’s big banks that he hasn’t yet decided on whether to tax the sector in this month’s budget.
