The Financial Secretary, Chen Maobo, will publish a new Budget next month. The DAB today (27th) petitioned outside the National People's Congress to propose ten livelihood measures, including paying two months' rent for public housing tenants. Provide medical certificates for seniors aged 60 to 64, exempt business registration fees and related license fees for SME shops.

In addition, in view of the continuous spread of pneumonia caused by new coronaviruses, the DAB requires the government to allocate sufficient resources in advance to comprehensively implement anti-epidemic measures, which requires that all medical staff, patients and people entering and leaving the hospital be provided with adequate resources and technical assistance. At the same time, the government is urged to purchase masks around the world as soon as possible, sell them through designated retailers, or distribute them to the public free of charge from the District Offices.

The DAB requires the government to allocate sufficient resources in advance to fully implement anti-epidemic measures. Among them, it is required to protect all medical staff, patients and people entering and leaving the hospital, and provide sufficient resources and technical assistance. (Profile picture)

Members of the DAB Legislative Council, Chen Keqin and Zhou Haoding, joined a number of district council members to petition the government this morning. They said that the government had previously used 10 billion yuan to propose a number of livelihood measures, including a 2 yuan discount for seniors aged 60 to 64 , Relax the asset threshold for elderly living allowance, etc., but the DAB believes that the violent and illegal acts of sabotage have not yet subsided, and the future is still full of challenges.

On the grassroots level and the elderly, the DAB recommends that the government pay two months 'rent for public housing tenants, pay an additional two months' old-age allowance, long-term benefit, disability allowance, CSSA for the elderly, CSSA payments for people aged 60-64 and Employment support subsidies, etc. At the same time, medical vouchers are required for seniors aged 60-64. In addition, the DAB proposes to reduce the threshold for starting the public transport subsidy scheme from the current 400 yuan to 200 yuan, and at the same time add a child medical voucher of 2,000 yuan per person per year.

Promote waiver of business registration fees for SME shops

For small and medium-sized enterprises, the DAB proposes to reduce the one-hundred percent profit tax from 2019 to 20, with a ceiling of 50,000 yuan. There is no need to pay a 5% surcharge to reduce the burden on industrial and commercial enterprises. It is also proposed to waive the business registration fee and related license fees for SME shops, and extend the rent reduction of the government industry by half for more than 6 months. At the same time, actively contact MTR, Link and major real estate developers to act together.
