今年夏天想去西班牙旅游嗎?嗯,享用酒精會讓你花費更多。據勞倫·弗雷爾報道,西班牙政府將提高酒精和煙草的稅率。
Tax on tobacco and liquor are going up by 10% effective immediately just as summer tourism gets underway. But the hike won't affect beer and wine.

Ruling conservatives have already _2_ sales tax on things like movie tickets and new cars to 21%. The government is also scrapping some corporate tax deductions. It's been five years since Spain's huge property bubble burst. New taxes are part of austerity measures _3_ to avoid a full-blown bailout from Europe. For NPR News, I'm Lauren Frayer.
夏季旅游季一開始,煙草稅和酒精稅便會上漲10%。但是此次上漲不會影響啤酒和葡萄酒。去年,西班牙的銀行體系得到了歐洲的救助資金,這使馬德里方面不得不做出這些改革舉措。執(zhí)政保守黨已將電影票和新車的銷售稅提高至21%。政府也將撤消部分公司稅減免政策。現在距離西班牙房地產泡沫破滅已過去五年的時間。新稅收政策是財政緊縮政策的一部分,以避免接受歐洲的全面救助。NPR新聞,勞倫·弗雷爾報道。
