proffers

English to Chinese Other Other
I need someone in the U.S. who knows this kind of tax called "proffers" to suggest a Chinese translation. Context: For instance, our locality has to build a new school every year and I understand that Loudoun has to build several new schools every year. Schools are over 70% of our property taxes. Without proffers - our taxes would have easily doubled and then some not to mention what would happen to the elected officials who approved those tax increases.

(城镇)增容规划费

这其实算不上征税,而是一种为考虑新开发项目对城镇规划的影响,而由项目产权所有者“自愿”向当地市政交纳的现金,或者项目产权所有者根据与当地签署的开发协议,而需向当地市政交纳的资金。正因为与一般意义的税不同,或者说,至少在名义上不属于税,才有下文的 “Without proffers - our taxes would have easily doubled...”。如果与国内的哪方面来对应的话,也许类似于所谓的“城市增容费”。国内的“城市增容费”是强制性向用人单位和迁入户口的个人征收的费用,也不属于税。但两者还是有所区别。考虑到美国的此类费用与城市区划有关,是考虑新项目对公共服务需求的影响如学校、道路、医院等而由业主“主动“缴纳”的金钱,因此,可参照国内叫法译为“增容规划费”。这样,也可与其它正式的强制性“征税”相区别。
