纽约州的税收正在激增，因为交易繁荣有望为华尔街带来创纪录的利润。
New York state’s tax collections are surging as a trading boom promises to deliver record profits to Wall Street.
州财政监督托马斯·迪纳波利周五表示，该州在财政年度前六个月征收税收685亿美元，比预测多出73亿美元。
The state collected $68.5 billion in tax revenue in the first six months of the fiscal year, $7.3 billion more than projected, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said Friday.
“州税收增加，特别是个人所得税和企业税收入，部分是金融市场增长的结果，”迪纳波利在一份声明中表示。“然而，消费者成本仍在上升，许多家庭仍在挣扎。虽然金融市场的强劲增长对某些人有利，但我们必须确保经济惠及所有纽约人。”迪纳波利本月早些时候表示，华尔街今年上半年的利润约为460亿美元，显著超出预测，并有望实现超过900亿美元的创纪录总额。因此，奖金预计将达到历史最高水平，并提升个人所得税收入。
“Higher state tax collections, particularly personal income and business tax receipts, are partially a result of financial market growth,” DiNapoli said in a statement. “However, consumer costs keep rising and many families are still struggling. While strong financial market growth bodes well for some, we must ensure the economy works for all New Yorkers.”Wall Street’s roughly $46 billion profits during the first half of the year have significantly exceeded forecasts and put it on track for a record haul of more than $90 billion, DiNapoli said earlier this month. As a result, bonuses are anticipated to reach an all-time high and boost personal-income tax collections.
雇佣超过20万人的纽约证券业也在截至6月30日的财政年度为纽约市创造了近80亿美元的税收收入，较上年增长15.8%。其总体税收较上年增长近7%。
The securities industry, which employs more than 200,000 people in New York City, also generated almost $8 billion in tax revenue for the city in the fiscal year ending June 30, up 15.8% from the previous year. Its overall tax collections rose almost 7% from the prior year.
