Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e further announced this morning (18th) that he would apply for nearly 28 billion yuan in funding at a special meeting of the Finance Committee this week.
The Citizens Party proposes that the government allocate 10,000 yuan in subsidies to permanent residents over the age of 18 in Hong Kong. It is estimated that 6.5 million people will benefit and the expenditure will be about 65 billion. The leader of the Citizen Party, Yang Yueqiao, believes that although the amount is huge, it is the economic achievements accumulated by Hong Kong in the past years and should be shared with the entire population under special circumstances.
Citizen Party member Guo Jiaqi pointed out that the government has the responsibility to help wage earners who have been forced to take unpaid leave or be fired because of bleak business in the market, and issue a monthly limit of 4,000 yuan for underemployment or 8,000 yuan for unemployment benefits.

The Citizen Party suggested that the government should take the initiative to take the lead in reducing rents during the SARS period in 2003 and reduce the government-owned leased properties or shops by half the rent for half a year, such as the cooked food market under the FEHD to support SMEs.
In terms of taxation, the Citizen Party demanded a 100% exemption from salaries tax, personal income tax and profits tax, with the ceiling raised to $ 50,000. There is no unconditional exemption for all individuals and sole proprietors who pay taxes to pay instalments. In the next tax year, the policy of conditional exemption of instalments for partnership business and corporations will be maintained in the next tax year.
Guo Jiaqi, a member of the Citizens' Party Legislative Council, pointed out that although the measures proposed by the government can help travel agencies or restaurant operators to overcome the urgent needs, most of them can not help wage earners in hot water, such as restaurants Work. He suggested that the government should set up an "underemployment allowance" for wage earners. The target is to be deducted by half or more of the salary after the first confirmed case from Hong Kong (January 23), or be required to receive 2 weeks or more People on unpaid leave can receive a monthly allowance of up to 4,000 yuan for a maximum of 6 months; for those who are fired after January 23, a monthly allowance of up to 8,000 yuan for an unemployment allowance is available for a maximum of 6 months.
