Anti-epidemic Fund|Auto Parts Sales Qualitative Non-retail Industry Not Funded

2020-08-21T06:13:25.607Z


In response to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many industries have received more or less support from the anti-epidemic fund. Only part of the industry has not received support, which is believed to be controversial in definition. For example, the sales of auto parts operate in a "mixed" way, which not only sells parts to the general public, but also exports repair parts to garages. Members of the DAB Legislative Council Zhou Haoding and Liang Zhixiang held a press conference today (21) to request the anti-epidemic fund to support the auto parts sales industry. Zhou Haoding pointed out that the definition of retail industry is “puzzling”. Some industry players said that the first two waves of the epidemic did not receive any support, and hope that the third round of anti-epidemic funds can consider the industry. The reporter checked the official website of the Anti-epidemic Fund. The "retail industry subsidy program" refers to "the retail industry refers to businesses that sell physical goods to the general public for personal or household consumption or use."

The industry says there are similar shops approved

Mr. Jin, who has been engaged in auto parts sales in Kam Tin Street, Yuen Long for more than 30 years, said that although he "has a garage business," he has often shopped in for many years in his business. He believes that it meets the requirements for selling physical goods to the general public. He also believes that the approval conditions are not clear. A store with similar businesses on the same street has been approved, but his application failed. The Anti-epidemic Fund replied that his main business is not retail. He pointed out that the ratio of approved to disapproved for similar industries in Kam Tin Street was about 2 to 8. He described that the current business is bleak, with only one or two transactions per day. He hopes that the third round of the government's anti-epidemic fund can be considered by the industry.

Liang Zhixiang urged the government to support it as soon as possible. He said that according to unofficial statistics, there are more than 500 auto parts sales companies in Hong Kong. He said that if the situation continues, they may close down. Zhou Haoding pointed out that the definition of retail industry is "puzzling". At the same time, he has reflected to the government that "rules are dead, but people live" and believes that the epidemic should be handled leniently. He also pointed out that there are loopholes in the fund, and many industries cannot support it. He will report it to the government again.
