Controversy landed: News that South Korea will be the first to introduce "robot tax"
[Netease smart news August 11 news] The arrival of artificial intelligence era, more and more robots gradually replaced the human work, robots and other industrial automation, although the increase in production efficiency for the company to reduce costs, but also lead to Thousands of people are unemployed, and the government is also facing the fact that the tax revenue has been reduced. In this regard, according to foreign media, in order to avoid the occurrence of such incidents, the Korean government recently introduced the "robot tax."
It is reported that in the recently announced tax law revision plan, the South Korean government stated that it will reduce the previous government's tax incentives for enterprises to increase the productivity of guarantee infrastructure investment. At present, companies that have invested in industrial automation equipment will be eligible for corporate income tax relief. Companies can deduct 3% to 7% corporate income tax on their policies, and their tax rates will vary based on business scale. This sunset policy was originally scheduled for implementation until the end of this year, but the government proposed to extend it to the end of 2019 while reducing the deduction rate by two percentage points.
The original definition of robot tax was to tax robots used for industrial automation. Introducing more advanced and high-performance robots in the workplace, and the emergence of these high-efficiency robots will inevitably cause some people to lose their jobs. While the unemployment rate is increasing, the government will need more funds for the construction of welfare projects. In this context, the government has formulated a proposal to levy a robot tax to make up for the reduction in tax revenue.
In this regard, an industry source said: "Although this is not directed at the direct taxation of robots, but taking into account the two aspects involved in industrial automation, this can also be interpreted as a similar policy." At present, no one country officially adopted Robot tax, but governments, economists and technical experts are still arguing about the pros and cons of this tax.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is one of the famous "robot tax" supporters. In an interview in February this year, he said that governments should impose taxation on the use of robots to help those who are unemployed to retrain and slow down automation. Gates said: “For a person who works in a factory and earns 50,000 U.S. dollars, there is no doubt that he has to pay taxes. If robots do the same thing, shouldn’t we collect taxes?†It is also stressed that there are still many tasks that need to be done by the human brain and hands, so humans cannot be completely replaced by machines.
Despite this, many people still disagree with this. The International Robot Federation (IFR) has been strongly opposed to the idea of ​​taxation of robots. The organization claims that the robot tax will weaken the legitimate competition and technological innovation in the robotics field. In addition, Lawrence Summers, the former U.S. Treasury secretary, also opposes the taxation of robots, saying that Gates's view is "seriously misleading." He said: "Picking a high enough tax on robots will stop them from being born."
In Europe, European Union legislators launched a proposal last year proposing to levy a robot tax on companies. This claim sparked a debate about the introduction of robot tax. However, in February of this year, the European Union passed a resolution opposing the introduction of a robot tax, and at the same time formally classified artificial-intelligence robots as “electronic people†with character traits.
