Committee will continue with the second debate. Mr LEUNG Yiu-chung, please speak. INLAND REVENUE (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2) BILL 2017 MR LEUNG YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Chairman, I notice that when Dr KWOK Ka-ki spoke in this debate session yesterday, he pointed out that there was a good intention behind the new policy. It is certainly so, and I also wish that the current tax reform can provide the SAR Government with a good prospect. This is the common wish of the people of Hong Kong, but I am worried that this is only our wishful thinking. As we all know, other countries are also promoting the development of the industry, and Hong Kong is not the only place making these changes. If a competitive environment is created for the development of the industry, a lot of people will be attracted to participate. I have generally talked about yesterday the development of the industry in Mainland China, and from which we can see that not just in Hong Kong, any industry which is financially profitable under the capitalist system and free market mechanism will naturally attract competitors. Hence, should the Government be so optimistic about this? For example, as pointed out by Mr LEUNG Kwok-hung yesterday, things might not go as smoothly as we think. With regard to the profits derived, Mr LEUNG Kwok-hung indicated yesterday that only $2.6 billion of profits have been recorded in Ireland, and should these be regarded as huge profits? It should not be very difficult to engage in other businesses and reap such profits in Hong Kong. However, in order to develop aircraft leasing business, we have to make a breakthrough in tax reform and the attempt cannot be regarded as a simple one. I will talk about this breakthrough later, and let me first respond to … CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Mr LEUNG Yiu-chung, we are now discussing the clauses involved in the current debate. You should speak on the amendments proposed to the relevant clauses instead of the overall policy. Discussions on LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 22 June 2017 10411 the Government's policy have already been completed during deliberation of the Bills Committee and the Second Reading debate. Please speak on the relevant clauses. MR LEUNG YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): I will come to the discussion very soon. CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): We are now discussing clauses 4, 8 and 10. MR LEUNG YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): I know, I will get to the point very soon, and those are just opening remarks. Let me first respond to a point made by Mr James TO yesterday in the current debate session. With regard to the amendments proposed to clauses 4, 8 and 10, he opined that the biggest problem lied in the fact that the Government had only indicated its wish to move the amendments at the final meeting of the Bills Committee, and this was indeed most undesirable. According to him, the amendments were proposed in response to the comments made by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") about the issue on ring-fencing and onshore leasing activities. Mr James TO said that such a practice was most undesirable. Nevertheless, can we take the matter more seriously and say that it is in fact a dereliction of duty on the part of the government officials concerned? OECD is an international organization with an important status in this respect, but the Government had known nothing about its stance, and it was not until shortly before the final meeting of the Bills Committee that the Government eventually realized what had gone wrong and proposed the amendments hastily. Is this a mistake or a dereliction of duty? In this connection, the Government has never given us a proper explanation, and I think this is where the problem lies. Apart from this, the Government has explained that the main objective of the amendments is simply to add a new tax assessment option so that the new tax regime will be extended to cover onshore aircraft leasing activities. Under the proposed amendments, all local airline companies will be provided with an additional tax assessment option so that they may compare the pros and cons of 10412 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 22 June 2017 the current and new tax regimes in accordance with their own business consideration and strategy, and then elect for assessment under the new tax regime or remain under the current tax regime. Chairman, this is the point which I would like to raise just now. Relatively speaking, this is indeed a breakthrough and a new policy, which is completely different from the standardized tax assessment option we are now adopting. The first difference is that profit-makers are allowed to choose freely between the two options and elect for assessment under the regime most favourable to them, and this is already one great breakthrough. Under the existing standardized assessment option, corporations are required to submit their financial reports to the Inland Revenue Department to declare the amount of profits they have gained, and the profits tax they have to pay will then be calculated at the standard tax rate.

In particular, insufficient attention has been paid to the complex demands this form places on TIE actors and as such, the artistry required of them. This thesis addresses these gaps by exploring the experiences of nine TIE actors engaged in two issue-based, interactive TIE works presented in Hong Kong.

  • Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information
    Proceedings of PACLIC 19, the 19th Asia-Pacific Conference on Language, Information and Computation. Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information Shiho Nobesawa Ikuo Tahara Department of Information Sciences Department of Information Sciences Tokyo University of Science Tokyo University of Science 2641 Yamazaki, Noda 2641 Yamazaki, Noda Chiba, 278-8510, Japan Chiba, 278-8510, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Language identification has been an interesting and fascinating issue in natural language processing for decades, and there have been many researches on it. However, most of the researches are for documents, and though the possibility of high accuracy for shorter strings of characters, language identification for words or phrases has not been discussed much. In this paper we propose a statistical method of language identification for phrases, and show the empirical results for person names of 9 languages (12 areas). Our simple method based on n-gram and phrase length obtained more than 90% of accuracy for Japanese, Korean and Russian, and fair results for other languages except English. This result indicated the possibility of language identification for person names based on statistics, which is useful in multi-language person name detection and also let us expect the possibility of language identification for phrases with simple statistics-based methods. 1. Introduction The technology of language identification has become more important with the growth of the WWW. As Grefenstette reported in their paper (Grefenstette 2000) non-English languages are growing in recent years on the WWW, and the need for automatic language identification for both documents and phrases are increasing.
