呼吸空氣也要納稅？你沒有聽錯。

據外媒報道，委內瑞拉最大的國際機場近日開始征收20美金的“清潔空氣呼吸稅”。

征收“呼吸稅”是為了支付新安裝的用臭氧凈化機場內空氣的空調系統的費用。

在年通脹率高達60%、犯罪率高、基本商品和服務普遍缺乏的委內瑞拉，此舉引爆了該國人民的怒火。

在社交媒體上吐槽的委內瑞拉人中，有的人擔心這一稅收最后又淪為腐敗的一個新源頭，有的人則解讀為機場嚴重缺乏資金的證據。

委內瑞拉機場征收“呼吸稅”

Passengers flying out of Maiquetia International Airport in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas now have to shell out a $20 tax for the air they breathe, BBC reported Thursday.

The authorities at the government-run Maiquetia airport are now charging 127 bolivars “to cover the cost of a newly installed air purification system” that supposedly uses ozone to clean the building’s air conditioning vents.

In a press release, the ministry of water and air transport said that the purification system not only “deodorizes and sanitizes” the building, it also “eliminates bacterial growth to protect the health of travellers.” They also added that Maiquetia is the first airport in South America to use the technology.

The move, which was initially met with incredulity and disbelief, eventually caused outrage among Venezuelans already burdened with an annual inflation rate of close to 60 percent, a high crime rate -- the country has the fifth-highest murder rate in the world -- and a general shortage of basic goods and services.

Many Venezuelans took to Twitter to react to the news.

Venezuela, which has the largest oil reserves in the world, has recently been rocked by a spate of protests against the Nicolas Maduro-led government.

The protests began in February in the western states of Tachira and Merida, following an alleged rape attempt on a female student in San Cristobal, the capital city of Tachira. They soon turned violent when three protesters in Caracas were shot dead by unidentified gunmen.

The country has since seen a series of sporadic protests and anti-government demonstrations. The protesters have demanded greater security for citizens, stringent action against corrupt officials, release of all those detained during the protests, and economic changes to control inflation and ease chronic food shortages.
