Partners Group Holding AG联合创始人阿尔弗雷德·甘特纳呼吁对雇佣外国员工的瑞士公司征税，并将所得收入分配给全国人口，以此来改革该国的移民制度。
Group Holding AG co-founder Alfred Gantner is calling for Swiss companies that hire foreign workers to be taxed and for the resulting revenues to be distributed among the population as way to reform the country’s immigration system.
在接受瑞士报纸《瑞士周末报》采访时，这位亿万富翁表示，目前Partners Group无论是在博洛尼亚、法兰克福还是巴黎招聘人员到其位于瑞士苏州州 Zug 州的办公室工作，都无所谓。但如果公司为海外招聘产生额外成本，他们就会真正倾向于瑞士人才，甘特纳补充道。
In an interview with Swiss paper Schweiz am Wochenende, the billionaire said that at the moment it doesn’t matter to Partners Group whether it recruits someone in Bologna, Frankfurt of Paris for the company’s office in the Swiss canton of Zug. But if companies would incur additional costs for recruiting overseas, they would have a genuine preference for Swiss talent, Gantner added.
该提案呼吁雇佣欧盟员工的雇主缴纳移民税，税额为员工工资五年内最高可达5%。这意味着，若公司雇佣一名年薪为81,000瑞士法郎（约98,000美元）的欧盟员工，在五年期间需缴纳约20,000瑞士法郎的税款，甘特纳称。对于较低工资，税率可低至1%。
The proposal calls for employers who hire workers from the European Union to pay an immigration tax involving up to 5% of the employee’s salary over five years. That means a company hiring an EU worker on an annual salary of 81,000 Swiss francs ($98,000) would be taxed around 20,000 francs over the period, Gantner said. The tax would be as low as 1% for lower salaries.
甘特纳及其他Partners Group联合创始人共同成立了“Kompass Europa”组织，该组织致力于反对瑞士与欧盟关系更加紧密。
Gantner along with the other Partners Group co-founders have formed the Kompass Europa organization, which campaigns against closer Swiss ties with the EU.
甘特纳计算，该提案税收每年可产生约13.5亿瑞士法郎，他希望将这笔收入返还给全国人口。若将重点放在低收入群体，则可使一个四口之家每年获得约4,000瑞士法郎，他对该报如是说。
Gantner calculates the proposed tax could generate around 1.35 billion Swiss francs annually, which he wants to flow back to the population. If focused on the lowest earners, it could result in around 4,000 francs annually for a four-person household, he told the newspaper.
