英国政府正在推行一项分权改革计划,旨在向英格兰地方市长转移更多财权和行政权力。[1]根据该计划,从2028年起,英格兰地方市长将获得所得税收入份额,而不再依赖中央政府拨款。[1]此举旨在减少地方政府对财政部的依赖,同时支持地方借贷投资。[1]
在过渡期内,市长将在2027年4月前获得保留商业税收益的权力,这笔收入将达到数千万英镑。[1]同时,市长还将获得16-19教育资金和就业支持预算的控制权,使其能够制定本地职业路线和区域增长战略。[1]此外,市长将获得住房、交通等服务更大的控制权,进一步增强地方政府的自主性。[1]
The British government is preparing to announce a significant devolution reform that will transfer fiscal power to English regional mayors, reducing their dependence on central Treasury funding.[1] Beginning in 2028, mayors across England will receive a share of income tax revenues rather than relying on traditional central government allocations.[1]
Under the new framework, mayors will also be permitted to retain business tax revenues worth millions of pounds until April 2027, granting them greater autonomy over local finances.[1] The devolution agenda extends beyond taxation, as mayors will gain control over 16-19 education funding and employment support budgets, enabling them to shape local vocational pathways and regional growth strategies more directly.[1] Additionally, the reforms will expand mayoral authority over housing and transport services, further decentralizing decision-making from central government.[1]
