Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

>>基本民生需要?
>>則高收入家庭就會比低收入家庭受惠更多

contradiction:
基本民生需要 --> both poor and rich also need education

choose private school is not equal the buyers are rich,

it is just a choice that people vote against public school in market economy.
The tax system penalize people choosing private school.

>>則高收入家庭就會比低收入家庭受惠更多

rich people can also avoid your sales tax
by send their kids to public school or keep their kids at public schools to avoid your tax

Or send them overseas to avoid your sales tax

it just give more gov't protection/shelter to competitiveness on public school

In the end, private schools become harder to compete with public schools after the introduction of sales tax

I strongly wish that the sales tax do not cover education spending,
esp for school spending up to secondary level.

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

Anyone has information on sales tax policy on other major countries ?

Not so sure about education,
it seems that food items are not subject to sales tax as well

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

To penalize high income group,
they should use higher income tax rate,

instead of "distort the price" of products and services in the free market economy

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

I read a comparison of the GST across Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and UK.  Only HK (prospective) and Singapore have 5% GST on Education.  Education GST in Australia is zero-rated and in UK is exempted.

This is unacceptable unless we can claim tax deduction on our kids' education expenses for Salaries tax.

:-D

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

>> claim tax deduction
>> 會令稅制更為複雜,以及造成行政費用高,加重營商成本等問題

based on their own saying,

it is better not charge you (exempted) than
i charge you first and then refund you back

big waste on admin. cost,
in both private sector and Govt sector human resource

>> any chance to be implemented in HK within the coming few year


you mean the policy is not likely to implement at all or you mean
the policy is not likely to start in a few years.


Government seems able to do things faster than before.

>> Too early to talk on this topic.

They are really seeking opinions from public now for real or just a show ?

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

Me too.......hope this is only a political show........really hope HK won't follow Australia!

But if we don't think of the worse case senario, how do we deal with it when it does come?!  Will any IS parents feel comfortable if they do need to pay extra 5% on top of the ever increasing IS fees?

Re: Sales Tax on International School's School Fees

I will probably migrate to another country!  At least they offer free education and no tax on education.  Shame on H.K. government!  Hire stupid people to do stupid stuff.
