Chairman's Feedback on the 2008-09 Budget

(香港訊,二零零八年二月二十七日) - 香港零售管理協會主席關百豪先生,就政府剛公佈新一年度財政預算案,有以下回應:

(1) 協會歡迎政府剛公佈的「二零零八至零九財政年度預算案」,認為預算案對香港經濟及零售市道尤如一支強心針,雖然有關措施或許未能在短期內達致刺激經濟的效果,但長遠而言,藏富於民是正確方向。

(2) 協會亦認為預算案內容能較全面照顧各階層的需要,尤其是中產及基層市民的長遠需要,包括降低薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的標準稅率、一次過寬減 07-08 年度 75% 的薪俸稅及個人入息課稅、擴闊稅階等,是一份合適的預算案。另外,一些措施,如向每名月薪不足 10,000 元人士的強積金戶口一次過注入 6,000 元等,亦能照顧低收入人士,舒緩高通脹對他們的影響。

(3) 就一次過寬減 07-08 年度 75% 的利得稅,及寬免 08-09 年度的商業登記費,協會認為有關建議創新務實,並能真正幫助中小企舒緩經營壓力,尤其在目前租金、工資及各營運成本高企的情況下。
