2016年,新加坡为了在维护累进税制的同时保障财政的可持续性,推出了8万新元的个人所得税减免顶限。
该顶限自2018年起生效,旨在限制拥有多名受抚养人的高收入者申请过多的税务减免,因为这可能导致税收减少并削弱税制的累进性。这项措施原本预计只会影响一小部分纳税人。然而,该顶限却对高收入的在职母亲——那些既要为劳动力市场做贡献,又要履行看护责任的群体——造成了不成比例的影响。
这在很大程度上是由于在职母亲子女估税扣税(Working Mother’s Child Relief, 简称WMCR)。这项减免过去是按在职母亲劳动收入的一定百分比计算,为拥有多个子女和较高薪资的母亲们提供了可观的支持。如今,高收入的在职母亲无法充分享受WMCR带来的优惠,这限制了她们在抚养孩子的同时继续留在职场的动力。
