网友：英国政府确实提供了君主拨款，但这是为了维护它拥有的宫殿，还有业务费用。如果你必须出差，你希望你的雇主支付你的机票，不是吗?女王没有任何报酬，靠她的私人投资收入生活。我还想指出政府也从中获利。这要追溯到1760年，当时英王乔治三世将皇家财产局的收入交给政府，以换取支出。君主拨款大约占收入的15%，剩下的归政府所有......

When did you stop beating your wife? That’s about as sensible a question.
It doesn’t. The UK government does make a Sovereign Grant, but this is for maintenance of the palaces that it owns anyway, and for business expenses. If you have to travel for work, you expect your employer to pay for your tickets, don’t you? The Queen is paid nothing and lives off her private investment income.
I would also point out that the government makes a profit out of it. This goes back to 1760, when King George III gave the income from the Crown Estate to the government in return for being paid expenses. The Sovereign Grant is about 15% of that income and the government keeps the rest.
你什么时候停止打你老婆的?这是一个很明显的问题。就是没有给钱。英国政府确实提供了君主拨款，但这是为了维护它拥有的宫殿，还有业务费用。如果你必须出差，你希望你的雇主支付你的机票，不是吗?女王没有任何报酬，靠她的私人投资收入生活。我还想指出政府也从中获利。这要追溯到1760年，当时英王乔治三世将皇家财产局的收入交给政府，以换取支出。君主拨款大约占收入的15%，剩下的归政府所有。
The UK Government doesn’t give money to the Queen, the UK Government pays for her security and the upkeep on her residences and living expenses. The UK Government spends about 500,000 GBP on the Royal Family each year. But the Royal Estates pay taxes, and they pay about 500,000 GBP in taxes a year.
And the Government estimates that tourism to see the Royals brings in about 2 million GBP per year.
So in the end. The Royal Estates return the ‘cost’ of the Royals back and the gain from tourism benefits the entire country.
英国政府不给女王钱，英国政府支付她的安全、住所的维护和生活费用。英国政府每年在王室上的支出约为50万英镑。但是皇家地产要交税，他们每年要交大约50万英镑的税。政府估计，参观王室的游客每年能带来大约200万英镑的收入。所以最后，皇家地产公司将王室的“成本”返还给王室，而旅游业的收益则惠及整个国家。
The Royal Estates don’t belong to the Royals personally. And the tourism figure is plucked from the air and can neither be proven nor disproven.
皇家地产并不属于王室个人。而旅游业的数据是凭空捏造的，既不能被证实，也不能被推翻。

The Crown generates more money to the U.K. economy, than the U.K. spends on the Crown.
There is no issue here. The U.K. is literally making a profit.
王室为英国经济创造的收入，要比英国花在王室身上的钱多。
这里没有问题。英国实际上是在盈利。
In fact the Queen, as the other answers have said, receives back 15% of the receipts from the Crown estates as the Sovereigns Grant (used to be called The Civil List), so she is getting back a small slice of her own money, money that she has paid the Government…. and she pays income tax.
Thats fantastic for the British taxpayer - who really just covers travel and security costs.
事实上，正如其他人所说，女王从王室财产中收回15%的收入作为君主拨款(过去被称为王室专款)，所以她是拿回自己的一小部分钱，她已经付给政府钱了....她还付所得税。这对英国纳税人来说太棒了，纳税人只负责差旅费和安保费用。
The UK gives far too much money to the Queen every year.
People bang on about her “gifting” the revenue from the Crown Estates to the nation every year, and getting a slice of it back for official expenses. But the Crown Estates DON’T belong to her personally - they belong to the Crown, and the Crown is part of the state. Many, many things are in the name of the Crown (HM Revenue and Customs, for example). The revenues from the Crown Estates have always been used for government expenditure, they date from a time when the monarch had more of a role in government.
The Queen gets £20m a year income pocket money from the Duchy of Lancaster, and her eldest son also gets this amount from the Duchy of Cornwall. The duchies both belong to the Crown, NOT to them personally.
Why does she get so much? Simple - most people in government (and the country) are monarchist to some degree and are afraid to tamper with it, lest it should make them unpopular. The British monarchy has a strong cult of personality . They have no problem with the royals being filthy rich, while the NHS goes underfunded. Perhaps governments are also afraid of falling foul of the royals themselves, and not being invited round for that weekend at Highgrove, or that tea party at Buckingham Palace (the Queen was said to be upset at losing the royal yacht, for example).
Put simply, the British monarchy is so successful at PR and propaganda that they can demand and get anything they want from its monarchist government and population.
英国每年给女王的钱太多了。人们喋喋不休地谈论她每年将皇家财产局的收入“赠予”国家，并从中分得一部分作为官方开支。但皇家地产并不属于她个人，是属于王室，而王室是国家的一部分。很多东西都以王室的名义存在(例如，英国税务和海关总署)。皇家财产局的收入一直用于政府支出，这可以追溯到君主在政府中有更多角色的时代。女王每年从兰开斯特公爵领地得到2000万英镑的收入，这两个公爵领地都属于王室，而不是他们个人的。为什么她能得到这么多?很简单——政府(和国家)中的大多数人在某种程度上是君主制主义者，他们害怕改变君主制，怕这会让他们不受欢迎。英国王室中有着强烈的个人崇拜。他们对王室的暴富毫无意见，而海关总署却资金不足。可能政府也害怕得罪皇室，没被邀请去海格罗夫过周末，也没有被邀请参加白金汉宫的茶会(据说女王因为失去了皇家游艇而感到沮丧)。简而言之，英国王室在公关和宣传方面非常成功，他们可以要求并从其君主制政府和民众那里得到任何他们想要的东西。
To fund their lifestyle and keep them in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
The UK taxpayers have given money to the monarch for centuries. It used to be called the Civil List but now it’s part of the Sovereign Grant.
The idea that the Royal Family actually gives 85% of their income to the taxpayer and only keeps 15% is a popular myth but entirely untrue. The monarch is not entitled to the revenue from the Crown Estate, that belongs to the treasury. The amount that the treasury gives to the Monarch is calculated at 15% of the Crown estate revenue, but that’s just a figure used as a calculation. It’s simply not true to say the monarch gives 85% of their income to treasury.
And the taxpayer also pays for the Royal family’s security, which is a huge expense but never revealed to the public.
为他们的生活提供资金，并使他们保持他们已经习惯的生活方式。
几个世纪以来，英国纳税人一直在向君主捐钱。它曾经被称为王室专款，但现在它是君主拨款的一部分。王室将85%的收入交还纳税人，只保留15%的说法是一个流行的传说，完全不属实。君主没有资格获得皇家遗产,皇家遗产属于财政部。财政部按皇家财产收入的15%计算给君主的数额，但这只是一个计算数字。但说君主把收入的85%交给财政部是不正确的。此外，纳税人还为王室的安全买单，这是一笔巨大的开支，但从未向公众披露。
it's her salary plus living expenses. They also pay for all of those fancy banquets plus the business trips of the senior members of the Royal Family. Thst’s Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward plus Prince Charles’ son Prince William and the spouses of each of them.
这是她的工资加上生活费。他们还为皇室高级成员的豪华宴会和商务旅行买单。包括查尔斯王子，安妮公主和爱德华王子，还有查尔斯王子的儿子威廉王子和他们的配偶。
We do NOT pay for the upkeep of the Royal Family. The Queen receives the Sovereign Grant which is paid for by the Crown Estates. This is excess profit from properties held by right of the Crown. These properties are places like Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and also investment properties such as shopping parks etc. Their profits are handed over to the Treasury and they give back 25% to the Queen as the Sovereign Grant. In normal years it’s only 15% but an extra 10% has been given because of restoration works to Buckingham Palace and the Frogmore Estate.
The Queen uses the Sovereign Grant to pay for official outgoings and to pay other members of the royal family who represent her on official engagements. There is NO Civil List any more… royals must work for any money from the Grant.
The Queen also receives money from other assets held by right of the Crown that belongs to the Duchy of Lancaster (she is the ‘Duke’) … these properties include buildings such as the Savoy Hotel. The income these properties generate ensures the Queen has an income. This income is voluntarily taxed.
The only other member of the royal family who receives money is the Duke of Cornwall (Prince Charles). The profit from The Duchy of Cornwall provides the heir to the throne with an income for himself and support for his family. This is voluntarily taxed. The Duchy’s estates are held by right of the Duke (the Crown if there is no male heir and the money generated is deducted from the Sovereign Grant) and not his personal possession. The Duke has ploughed a considerable amount of money back into the Duchy to provide sustainable eco and green projects as well as youth and enterprise schemes.
我们不支付王室的生活费。女王收到的是由皇家产业支付的君主拨款。这些产业产包括白金汉宫、温莎城堡以及购物公园等投资性地产。其利润会上缴国库，并将25%返还给女王作为君主拨款。
在正常年份,只有15%，但由于要修复白金汉宫和温莎城堡时，要支付额外的10%。已经没有王室专款了，皇室成员必须为赠款工作。女王还从属于兰开斯特公爵的其他王室财产中赚得金钱(她是“公爵”)，这些物业包括萨沃伊酒店等建筑。这些房产产生的收入确保了女王有收入。这种收入是自愿征税的。除此之外，只有康沃尔公爵(查尔斯王子)收到过钱。来自康沃尔公爵领地的利润为这位王位继承人提供了收入和家庭生活的支持。这也是自愿征税的。
They don't!!
Of the surplus that the Queen earns from her firm (the Royal estates from rent and other investments), she gets some of her own money back to pay her expenses, just like any other tax paying business in the UK.
So she pays money in tax, and we all benefit from the taxes she pays, and the tourists she brings to the country, not to mention the trade deals on the back of her state banquets etc., so we're quids in on the deal.
She also gives the country stable democracy. The army are loyal to the Queen, not the government, so there is never a revolution.
他们没有。
在女王从她的公司(通过出租皇家地产或其他投资)获得的盈余中，她会收回一部分她的开支，就像英国其他纳税企业一样。所以她交了税，我们也都从她交的税中受益，还有她带来的游客，更不用说她的国宴背后促成的贸易协议等等，所以我们在这笔交易中是获益的。
她也给这个国家带来了稳定的民主。军队是忠于女王的，而不是政府，所以从来没有革命。
There is a common misconception about tax funding in the UK and other places (it is a similar story in at least Canada and the USA too).
The median UK household income is around £65,000, but it often surprises people to know that most households with an income below £150,000 or so, pay less in tax than they cost the state. In other words, an average family does not even fully fund itself, let alone any of the royal family.
Also, without the royal family and the Crown Estate, personal income tax rates in the UK would only be higher. As many others have already pointed out, the Crown Estate revenue greatly exceeds the cost of the Sovereign Grant. The British people profit from the monarch by over £250m every year.
Given the profits from the Crown Estate, and that the Queen and other members of the royal family pay considerable income tax on their private incomes, it would be more accurate to say that the royal family helps fund the British people rather than the other way around.
在英国和其他地方，人们对税收有一个普遍的误解(至少在加拿大和美国也是类似的情况)。
英国家庭收入中位数约为6.5万英镑，但人们常常会惊讶地发现，大多数收入在15万英镑左右的家庭缴纳的税款比他们向政府缴纳的还要少。换句话说，一个普通家庭甚至连自己的收入都不够用，更不用说王室了。此外，如果没有王室和英国皇家财产局，英国的个人所得税税率只会更高。
正如其他许多人已经指出的那样，皇家财产局的收入大大超过了君主拨款的成本。英国人民每年从君主那里获得超过2.5亿英镑的利润。考虑到皇家财产局的利润，以及女王和其他皇室成员要为他们的私人收入缴纳相当多的所得税，更准确的说，是王室资助了英国人民，而不是相反。
Residents of the UK pay taxes - as do most other people around the world unless they live in a (oil rich) nation which does not charge residents taxes.
Paying tax in the UK contributes to the running of the country and protection of each person so they can have police service, health service etc. Tax money is collected by the government, and they then use the money to pay armed forces, build roads, upkeep prisons etc etc. Some of that money is also used to upkeep places which are owned by the nation, some of which are also used by the Royal family. The members of the Royal Family spend many hours each week doing public duties on behalf of the UK (visiting national organizations, opening new buildings, inspecting armed forces, supporting charities, speaking throughout the Commonwealth etc) and the UK government give allowance to support this work, because the Royals are working for the nation.
The Royal family have their own (personal) businesses such as farms, wineries, horse breeding, real estate, etc and some have other careers such as architect, writer, photographer, and this means they have a personal income. Some (like Prince Harry) have an inheritance or allowance from their families. They also pay tax on this income.
Some people believe that the Royal family should not be given public funds for doing the duties they do, and some do not want a monarchy at all. Most people in the UK are happy to have a monarchy, and understand the role they have in contributing to the culture, tourism and history.
It is unlikely the British Gov would refuse to make the allowance for the senior Royals, since they rely on the Queen and her family to aid the PM and other ministers, and even now the Queen receives a daily Red Box (apart from Christmas Day and Easter Sunday) to convey daily dispatches from the government to the monarch. These are important documents from her Cabinet and from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the queen to review in her role as head of state. Every week the Queen has a meeting with the current PM, to discuss state and government.
英国居民纳税，世界上大多数人都是这样，除非他们生活在一个不向居民征税的(石油丰富)国家。在英国纳税有助于国家的运行和保护每个人，这样他们就可以获得警察服务、医疗服务等。税款由政府收集，然后他们用这些钱来支付军队，修建道路，维护监狱等。其中一些钱用于维护整个国家，也有一些用于王室。英国王室成员每周花很多时间代表英国履行公共职责(参观国家组织，为新建筑揭幕，视察武装部队，支持慈善机构，在英联邦演讲等)，英国政府为这项工作提供补贴，因为皇室成员是为国家工作的。皇室家族有他们自己的(个人)生意，如农场、酒厂、马匹养殖、房地产等，有些人从事其他职业，如建筑师、作家、摄影师，这意味着他们有个人收入。
有些人(比如哈里王子)从他们的家庭继承了遗产或获取零用钱。他们也要对这些收入纳税。
有些人认为王室不应该得到公共资金来履行他们的职责，有些人根本不想要君主制。但大多数英国人都很高兴拥有一个君主政体，并理解他们在文化、旅游和历史上所扮演的角色。
英国政府不太可能拒绝为王室高级成员提供补贴，因为他们依靠女王及其家人来帮助首相和其他部长，即使是现在，女王每天都会收到一个红盒子(除了圣诞节和复活节)，用来传递政府向女王发送的每日信件。这些都是来自她的内阁和外交和联邦事务部的重要文件，供作为国家元首的女王审阅。女王每周都会与现任首相会面，讨论国家和政府。
The only money “paid” to the Royal family relates to state business and the maintenance (to a limited extent) of some publicly used property for state occasions. The upkeep of all of the more private properties is paid for out of the income of the Royal family from investments, rents and so on.
However, it’s important to note that the “value” of the royal ceremonies, palaces and so on play a huge role in drawing visitors to the Uk and the income generated is calculated as being far in excess of any ‘costs’ charged to the country.
“支付”给王室的唯一一笔钱与国家事务有关，(在一定程度上)用于对某些公共财产的维护。
所有（王室）私人房产的维护费用都要从王室的投资、租金等收入中支付。然而，值得注意的是，皇室仪式、宫殿等的“价值”在吸引游客来英国方面发挥着巨大的作用，而且所产生的收入远远超过了国家收取的任何“成本”费。
The British Government spends 500 million pounds on the Royal Family per year, but they get 500 million pounds in income tax from the Royal estates, so the Royals don’t cost the British people anything.
The Royals and their estates bring in over 2 billion pound in tourist payment to the UK every year. So besides costing the British taxpayer NOTHING, the Royals are responsible for 2 billion pounds per year in income for the UK.
If you had a group that generated over 2 billion pound in income wouldn’t you support that group es
英国政府每年在王室身上花费5亿英镑，但他们从王室地产中获得了5亿英镑的所得税，所以王室没有花费英国人民任何东西。王室和他们的庄园每年为英国带来超过20亿英镑的旅游收入。因此，除了不花费英国纳税人任何费用外，王室每年还为英国贡献了20亿英镑的收入。如果你有一个团体，创造了超过20亿英镑的收入，你会不支持这个团体吗。
We don’t. Why do you think we do?
The monarch used to own the Crown Estate lands and received the rent from that, and paid all their own costs out of it. In 1760, George III gave them to the government in return for a cash payment called the Civil List. This is now called the Sovereign Grant, is about 15% of the Crown Estate income ,and thus we don’t pay a bean. In fact we make a profit out of the deal which helps keep taxes down a bit.
The Sovereign Grant pays for the upkeep of the royal palaces which the government owns anyway, and for business and travel expenses which would have to be paid for anyone doing the job. If you have a president, you wouldn’t expect them to pay for travelling around the world out of their own money, do you?
Meanwhile the Queen lives off her private income as Duke of Lancaster. Thus she doesn’t need to be paid a salary. It would cost more to have a president.
我们没有。你为什么觉得我们这么做了？君主曾经拥有皇家财产局的土地并从中收取租金，然后用这笔钱支付他们自己的所有费用。1760年，乔治三世将钱交给政府，以换取一笔名为“王室专款”的现金支付。现在被称为君主拨款，大约占皇家财产局收入的15%，因此我们一分钱都不用付。事实上，我们从这笔交易中获得了利润，这有助于降低一些税收。君主拨款用于政府拥有的皇家宫殿的维护，还有商务和旅行费用，这是所有人都必须支付的。如果你们有一位总统，你不会指望他们用自己的钱环游世界，对吧?与此同时，女王以兰开斯特公爵的身份靠私人收入生活。因此她不需要薪水。拥有一位总统的成本会更高。
Actually, the nation makes money from the royal family. This is because the monarch hands over all the revenue from the Crown Estates to the Treasury and, in return, receives a grant of 15–25%. In other words, the monarchy pays, on its key source of income, an effective tax rate of at least 75%.
事实上，这个国家从王室身上赚钱。这是因为女王将所有来自皇家财产局的收入移交给财政部，作为回报，女王将获得15-25%的拨款。换句话说，王室的主要收入至少要缴纳75%的实际税款。
In 2019 the cost of the Royal family, the wages of all the staff upkeeping the royal palaces and the maintenance of all the Royal properties, was £67million. The income the Government received that same year from the Crown Properties was £343 million and it is estimated that a further £500 million is earned from foreign tourists because we have the Monarchy. So that amounts to a profit of £776 million earned because of the Monarchy. Without the Royal family, the royal properties would still have to be staffed and maintained and we would probably lose the tourism boost. Remove the Monarch as Head of State and the UK would need a President. France’s President costs the French people around £80 million per year. Economically the Monarchy is a damned good deal.
2019年，王室的开销，所有维护皇家宫殿和所有皇家财产的工作人员的工资是6700万英镑。同年政府从皇家财产公司获得的收入为3.43亿英镑，据估计，由于英国是君主制国家，英国还从外国游客身上赚取了5亿英镑。因此，这相当于从君主制中获得了7.76亿英镑的利润。如果没有皇室家族，王室的财产仍然需要人手和维护，我们可能会失去旅游业的增长。废除君主的国家元首身份，英国将需要一位总统。法国总统每年给法国人民造成的损失约为8000万英镑。经济上来说，君主制是一个非常好的交易。
