新华社东京10月17日电(记者李子越 陈泽安)据日本共同社17日报道,日本政府正考虑通过进一步提高企业的法人税,为预计将持续膨胀的防卫费筹措资金。媒体称有关计划可能引发经济界反对。
报道说,日本政府正在推进“安保三文件”修订,其中,新一轮覆盖2027至2031财年的《防卫力整备计划》提出大量采购无人机、增加弹药和导弹储备,为长期作战做准备。报道援引日本政府高层人士的话称,如果按照防卫省所需进行估算,未来5年日本防卫费总额“可能膨胀至70万亿至80万亿日元(1美元约合158日元)”。
报道援引多名相关人士消息称,面对不断膨胀的防卫费,日本政府正考虑进一步提高企业的法人税,以确保稳定财源。共同社指出,日本政府还计划调整财政支出,以筹措防卫费资金,但这些计划都存在不确定性。
根据日本现行“安保三文件”,其2023至2027财年的防卫费总额约为43万亿日元。日本政府原计划到2027财年将防卫费提升至国内生产总值(GDP)的2%,但高市早苗出任首相后加快推进防卫费增长,于2025财年提前实现这一目标。据日媒此前报道,日本自民党建议政府年内修订“安保三文件”时进一步提升防卫费。相关动向持续引发广泛担忧。
