However, I have to point out that this article is no sth you would expected from an qualified accountant. The flow of logic is very weak. He used a lot of unrelated facts to "establish" his accusation. Obviously, you can see he use connectives in a "very liberal" way. There are so many times he use 而, 加上 when those facts are not related in any sense at all. the following are the two paragraphs that are most terrible, I am just too lazy to correct everything for him.<br /><br />這十年加薪幅度是遠追不上在香港生活的水平(生活的水平? I guess u wanna say inflation is higher than salary increment?),銷售稅是累退稅性質,即愈窮的人要負擔的稅率比重愈大(yeah true, but what what is its relationship with the first sentence?),而(the use of connective here is not appropriate)香港大部分基層市民根本是負擔不起這額外的銷售稅(I cant see how the first two sentence lead to this argument)。香港直接稅基疑似(It is narrow even in the most objective sense)狹窄,但(random use of connectives, again)間接稅及地產稅這樣的無型稅項,足以令很多香港老百姓苦不堪言(u say so, I cant see the why it would be 苦不堪言),銷售稅可會是香港嚴峻的貧富懸殊的問題的背上一根稻草(this argument/conclusion comes out from nowhere)<br /><br />我在大學做研究時(it has nothing to do with research, just google it and you will know),發現新加坡實行銷售稅前後GDP的增長,並不是有明顯差異。(so this support GST rite? dont mention this if your idea is to object GST....) 新加坡銷售稅平均只佔整體政府收入約13%,加上(random use of connective, again)新加坡是獨立國家,須自行擴充軍備,軍務上香港有國家支持,根本是用不着預備稅付以應軍費。 (The flow of logic in this paragraph is amazingly terrible)<br /><br /><br />‧徵稅成本高<br /><br />推行銷售稅其中一個考慮是,如何有效去收取稅金。香港零售及其他服務行業已非常成熟,要設置關卡去收取銷售稅,去達至公平公正,避免有錢的去請稅務顧問,規避龐大稅項(這也是貧富不公平之處),在立法及執行時,所需的人力物力也是不菲<br /><br />(Why mention the "maturity" of service sector? what has it do with the difficulties in collecting GST?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
