主席，本會成立的調查梁振英先生與澳洲企業UGLLimited所訂協議的事宜專責委員會於本年2月初開始運作。
President the Select Committee to Inquire into Matters about the Agreement between Mr LEUNG Chun - ying and the Australian firm UGL Limited set up by this Council commenced operation in early February this year
行政長官梁振英先生近月多次就專責委員會負責研究的事宜發表意見，並曾把其對該委員會的擬議主要研究範疇的修訂建議送交該委員會的一位委員。
In recent months the Chief Executive Mr LEUNG Chun - ying Mr LEUNG expressed his views on a number of occasions on the matters which the Select Committee is tasked to study and sent his suggested amendments to the proposed major areas of study of the Committee to one Committee member
據報，行政長官辦公室特別助理承認曾替梁先生下載上述研究範疇。
It has been reported that the Special Assistant in the Chief Executives Office CEO admitted that she had downloaded the aforesaid areas of study for Mr LEUNG
主席，首先多謝司長承認，政府有動用公帑協助行政長官私自與調查人員串通。
President first of all I thank the Chief Secretary for Administration for admitting that the Government has used public money for assisting the Chief Executive in colluding with a member of the investigation committee
但是，我想追問，在5月21日，行政長官於他的網誌上發出公開信，以回應梁繼昌議員的質疑，但那封公開信有別於其他7篇就UGL事件而發出的網誌，那封公開信特意加上下款"梁振英"3個字，並沒有加入任何行政長官的字樣，有別於一般公務行文的規定，亦與其他7篇類似的網誌不一樣。
But I want to ask a further question on the open letter which the Chief Executive posted on his blog on 21 May in response to the queries raised by Mr Kenneth LEUNG . Unlike the other seven posts concerning UGL on his blog this open letter carries the name of LEUNG Chun - ying as the writers identification without adding the title of Chief Executive . This open letter does not follow the format of official correspondence and is different from the other seven similar posts on his blog
我有理由相信，這篇網誌屬於私人性質，而非公務事宜。
I have reasons to believe this post is of a private nature and has nothing do with any official business
我想請問司長，為甚麼會容許公務員使用公帑，以協助行政長官處理他的私人事務？
May I ask the Chief Secretary why civil servants are allowed to use public money to assist the Chief Executive in handling his personal affairs?
我看見司長在這裏硬着頭皮護主情切，簡直將他個人的聲望和誠信押注，我希望他只是"人在江湖，身不由己"。
I can see how helplessly and desperately the Chief Secretary for Administration tries to defend his master . He is practically using his reputation and integrity as the bets . I really hope that he is only forced by his position to do so
如果他真的君子坦蕩蕩，為甚麼他不在陽光下表達自己的觀點？
If he really has nothing to hide why doesnt he express his views openly?
主席，梁振英和UGL事件純粹是私人問題，與其公職有何關係呢？
President the dealings between LEUNG Chun - ying and UGL are private business . Why should such dealings have anything to do with his public office?
為何公務員要就一位官員的私人事務而做工作，以及為他答辯呢？
Why should civil servants be asked to work for the private business of a public officer and even defend him?
我留意到司長的答覆是經諮詢行政長官辦公室後作出的，而主體答覆多次提及梁振英先生認為他有權利，以及可以行使其權利。
I notice that the reply of Chief Secretary for Administration was written after consulting the Chief Executives Office and the main reply repeatedly says that Mr LEUNG Chun - ying thinks that he has the right and he can exercise it
"我理解他當然有這個權利，但問題是，司長曾否諮詢行政長官辦公室，當專責委員會進行研究時，行政長官會否行使這權利出席會議作答呢？
I certainly understand that the Chief Executive has this right . But has the Chief Secretary for Administration consulted the Chief Executives Office on whether the Chief Executive will exercise this right during the inquiry of the select committee and attend its hearings to answer questions?
主席，很明顯，這事件是梁振英的私事，但又很明顯，似乎有公務員或行政長官辦公室的官員涉及這件私通事件中的事情。
President obviously the incident involves LEUNG Chun - yings private business . But then also very obviously some civil servants or officials of the Chief Executives Office were involved in this collusion incident
主席，有一個營辦商自本年4月19日起陸續在新界部分地區推出自助租用單車服務：市民在下載相關智能手機程式及開戶，並以信用卡戶口付款後，便可把該營辦商停泊在公眾地方的單車解鎖然後使用單車。
President since 19 April this year an operator has progressively launched an automated bicycle rental service in some areas of the New Territories under which members of the public who have downloaded the relevant smartphone application opened an account and made payment through their credit card accounts may unlock the bicycles parked by the operator in public places and then use them for riding
該營辦商把該服務稱為共享單車服務，並預計到本年年底將有30萬部共享單車投入服務。
The operator has named such service as the bike - sharing service and expects to have 300 000 shared bicycles coming on stream by the end of this year
有市民投訴，該等共享單車佔用了大量公共單車泊位，令原本已存在的單車泊位短缺問題加劇，亦有很多共享單車被隨處停泊在公眾地方，對行人造成阻礙。
Some members of the public have complained that such shared bicycles have occupied a large number of public bicycle parking spaces exacerbating the existing problem of shortage of bicycle parking spaces and that many shared bicycles are indiscriminately parked in public places causing obstruction to pedestrians
然而，該營辦商向傳媒表示，在推出該服務前，已就單車停泊問題與有關的政府部門溝通並得到正面回應，而該服務是由投資推廣署穿針引線引進香港的。
However the operator told the media that before launching the service it had communicated with the government departments concerned on bicycle parking issues and had received positive responses and that the service was introduced into Hong Kong through the liaison of Invest Hong Kong which acted as a go - between
主席，就梁志祥議員質詢的各部分，現綜合答覆如下。
President my consolidated reply to the various parts of Mr LEUNG Che - cheungs question is as follows
今年4月中，有私人營辦商以"共享單車"名義在本港推出自助單車租賃業務，用戶可透過智能手機應用程式以自助形式在任何地方租賃和歸還單車。
In mid - April this year a private operator launched an automated bicycle rental service in Hong Kong in the name of bicycle - sharing . It allows customers to rent and return bicycles anywhere on a self - service basis through a smartphone application
其在業務性質上與傳統單車租賃沒有基本分別，只是營運模式不同。
There is no fundamental difference in the nature of this business to that of conventional bicycle rental businesses only that this operator adopts a different mode of operation
鑒於該營辦商推出自助單車租賃後，在個別地區引起有關佔用公共單車泊位和利用公共資源作牟利活動等爭議，相關政府部門於6月初再次約見該營辦商，提醒他們須遵守法例及須妥善管理和安排停泊租賃單車。
In view of the controversies in individual districts concerning the occupation of public bicycle parking spaces by rental bicycles and the use of public resources for profit - making activities after the concerned operator launched its automated bicycle rental service relevant government departments met with the operator again in early June to remind them of the need to comply with the legislation and to properly manage and park the rental bicycles
儘管會上該營辦商表示會作出跟進，但據運輸署觀察，他們至今的跟進工作未盡理想。
Although the operator indicated at the meeting that follow - up actions would be taken according to Transport Department TDs observation the actions taken so far have not been satisfactory
運輸署共收到約30個投訴個案，主要投訴該營辦商利用免費的公共單車泊位作商業用途，以及投訴其單車長期佔用公共單車泊位或在公眾地方違例停泊。
TD has received some 30 complaints mainly about the concerned operator using free public bicycle parking spaces for commercial use as well as its bicycles occupying public bicycle parking spaces for extended periods of time or being parked legally in public places
就此，政府部門會按一貫程序執法和處理違泊單車事宜。
Relevant government departments will take enforcement action and handle illegal bicycle parking in accordance with the established practice
有需要時，當區民政事務處會統籌各有關部門採取聯合行動，清理違泊黑點，不論是涉及傳統租賃的單車、自助模式租賃的單車或私人擁有的單車。
Where necessary the concerned District Offices will coordinate inter - departmental joint operations on blackspot clearance irrespective of whether the illegally parked bicycles are conventional rental bicycles automated rental bicycles or privately owned bicycles
就政府的"單車友善"政策，我在上星期四立法會相關議案辯論中已清楚指出，政府的交通政策是以公共交通為本，減少依賴私家車；同時推動步行及單車作短途代步，作為往返公共交通工具車站和居所或辦公室的"首程"及"尾程"。
On the Governments bicycle - friendly policy I have already pointed out clearly in the related motion debate at the Legislative Council last Thursday that the Governments transport policy is based on public transport and aims to reduce reliance on private cars . At the same time we endeavour to promote walking and cycling for short - distance commuting and as first mile and last mile connection between public transport stations and living places or office
現屆政府已視單車為綠色代步工具，而非只用作康樂用途，並會改善各項配套措施和設施。
The current - term Government has already regarded bicycles as a green mode of transport rather than for recreational purposes only and will improve various supporting measures and facilities
目前，政府致力在新市鎮和新發展區推動"單車友善"環境，因為這些地區的單車徑網絡比較完善。
Currently the Government endeavours to foster a bicycle - friendly environment in new towns and new development areas given that the cycle track networks in these areas are more comprehensive
至於市區不少地方，道路交通非常繁忙，路窄人多，巴士及小巴路線頻密，而且路旁上落客貨活動頻繁。
For many places in the urban areas road traffic is very heavy with narrow and crowded roads and with numerous bus and minibus routes and frequent on - street loading and unloading activities
因此，在道路安全的大前提下，政府一直採取較審慎的態度，不鼓勵市民在市區繁忙路上以單車作為交通工具。
Owing to road safety considerations the Government has all along been adopting a prudent approach and does not encourage the public to use bicycles as a mode of commuting on busy roads in the urban areas
在議案辯論中，我們聽取了議員的各種意見和建議，會適當地考慮。
In the motion debate we have heard various opinions and recommendations of Members and will consider them as appropriate
政府鼓勵社區單車租賃服務，認同有助推動"綠色出行"的政策目標。
The Government encourages community bicycle rental services and agrees that these services are conducive to promoting the policy objective of green commuting . In recent years a variety of automated bicycle rental services have emerged in other cities
我們認為無論是設有停車樁柱或無樁式的自助租賃系統，關鍵都在於這些新增的單車在市內是否有合適的土地停放。
We consider that irrespective of whether automated bicycle rental systems are with parking poles or not the key issue is whether there is suitable land in the city for parking of those newly commissioned bicycles
要尋找合適而足夠的地方供自助租賃單車停放，並增建單車泊位，有時說易行難，因須面對社會上就有限土地資源的多元訴求。
Because of diversified demands for limited land resources to identify suitable and adequate land for placing automated rental bicycles and increasing the number of bicycle parking spaces is sometimes easier said than done
政府會密切留意單車租賃服務在各區的營運情況，如有必要，我們不排除考慮作出進一步規管，但要確保規管制度不會違反公平競爭的原則及切實可行。
The Government will closely monitor the operation of bicycle rental services in various districts . If necessary we do not preclude considering further regulating bicycle rental services but will need to ensure that the regulatory regime will not violate the principle of fair competition and is pragmatic and viable
政府在新市鎮及新發展區推動"單車友善"環境時，會包括增加單車泊位。
When fostering a bicycle - friendly environment in new towns and new development areas the Government will provide more bicycle parking spaces
現時全港共有超過57,000個免費公共單車泊位，運輸署就9個新市鎮單車網絡進行的顧問研究，提議在290個地點增加共約7,000個單車停泊位，當中約1,000個預計可於2018年前陸續完成。
At present there are more than 57 000 free public bicycle parking spaces across the territory . The consultancy study conducted by TD on the bicycle network in nine new towns has recommended a total of around 7 000 additional bicycle parking spaces at 290 locations amongst which 1 000 are expected to be available in phases by 2018
此外，運輸署亦已更新《運輸策劃及設計手冊》，將新式單車泊架，例如"雙層單車泊架"和"一上一下式泊架"等列為標準設計，考慮在適合的地點設置，以增加可停泊單車的數目。
In addition TD has already updated the Transport Planning and Design Manual by including new bicycle rack designs such as double - deck parking system and 1 - up - 1 - down parking rack as standard designs and will consider installing them at appropriate locations to provide more bicycle parking spaces
主席，局長在剛才的答覆中重複了上星期議案辯論的部分內容，但我想讓局長看看這些有關共享單車服務的圖片。
President in his reply the Secretary simply repeats some of the points covered in the motion debate last week . But I want to show the Secretary some photographs about the bike - sharing service
我要指出現時這種情況，是因為一直以來，政府提供的公共單車泊位都是供所有市民使用，而且使用者亦不僅限於作非商業模式用途。
And I must also talk about the existing bicycle parking policy . All along all members of the public are permitted to use the public bicycle parking spaces the Government provides and such parking spaces are not restricted to non - commercial users
例如送貨工人使用單車送貨時，可能會把單車停泊於公共泊位，又或經傳統單車租賃商鋪租借單車的人，也可把單車停泊在公共單車泊位。
For example delivery workers who deliver goods on bicycles may park their bicycles in public parking spaces while customers of conventional bicycle rental shops may also park their rented bicycles in public bicycle parking spaces
但是，在新市鎮、新發展區或其他地方，我們致力營造"單車友善"環境。
However we will strive to build a bicycle - friendly environment in new towns new development areas or other districts
所以，在今年的行政長官施政報告中，政府提出會推動社區單車租賃服務，而具體的推動工作當然包括在合適地方找尋土地，作為出租單車的停泊之處。
For this reason in the Policy Address of the Chief Executive this year the Government proposes to promote community bicycle rental services . One specific measure is of course the identification of sites in suitable places for parking rental bicycles
因此，無論是政府提供的公共單車租用服務，或 是由社區人士及非牟利團體推動的服務，甚至是以商業性質營辦的自助社區單車租賃業務，其實均面對同一根本問題，就是土地的配套，而這亦是政府現時要致力處理的問題。
Therefore whether we talk about a public bicycle rental service run by the Government or a rental service promoted by community and non - profit making organizations or even an automated community bicycle rental service run on a commercial basis the fundamental issue is still about the need to provide land support which is also the problem that the Government is trying to address now
我們當然關注，營辦商一旦大量投放新單車作租賃用途，目前有限的泊位確實是無法應付的。
We of course note with concern that if the operator really puts in large numbers of new bicycles for rental the limited number of bicycle parking spaces at present will fail to cope
所以，我已在主體答覆中提到，運輸署及其他相關部門已在6月初與營辦商進行第二次會面，表達我們的關注。
Hence as mentioned in the main reply TD and other relevant government departments already met with the operator again in early June to express our concern
其他大城市也有類似情況，不過有些城市在土地方面的配合當然是較為容易。
A similar problem can also be found in other big cities but some of these cities are of course in a better position to provide land support in this regard
主席，多使用單車和多做運動，對香港市民當然有好處。
President it is of course good to Hong Kong people if they can use bicycles more often and do more exercise
但是，對於泊位問題，我相信新界東及新界西的居民多少也有些憂慮，因為他們本身也擁有單車。
But I think when it comes to the issue of parking spaces residents in New Territories East and New Territories West will inevitably have some worries because many of them have their own bicycles
香港人習慣使用的傳統單車租賃服務，是在指定地點設有單車租賃店鋪，亦有指定地點還車，而有關店鋪亦自設地方擺放單車，甚至會租用地方停車。
The conventional bicycle rental service Hong Kong people have been using requires people to rent bicycles from shops at specific places and then return their rented bicycles at designated locations . Such shops have their own places for parking bicycles and some of them even rent a site for the purpose
但是，過去長期以來，政府提供的公共單車泊位並無限制甚麼人使用，過去亦不存在一些目前備受社區關注的問題。
But the public bicycle parking spaces provided by the Government have never been restricted to any specific category of users and all those issues that attract so much community concern now did not exist in the past either
當有這種新現象出現時，我們當然要處理，因為這是過去未曾經歷過的。
When such a new problem arise we must handle it because it was never found before
主席，情況並非一如馬議員所見，因為若說是沒有指定或固定地點租借或歸還單車的服務，這種形式確實是在非常近期出現。
President things are not like what Mr MA has observed because the operating mode of not requiring people to rent and return bicycles at designated or fixed locations is honestly a service that has emerged only very recently
不過，完全沒有指定地區，在全港任何地方均可租借及歸還單車的服務，的確是相當新穎的做法，而其他城市其實也遇上這難題，包括新加坡。
However a rental service that does not require people to rent and return bicycles at designated locations but allows them to do so anywhere is very innovative . Other cities including Singapore also face the same difficult problem
主席，共享汽車和共享單車等概念在世界各地都不是甚麼新鮮事物，而且廣受市民和投資者歡迎，我認為如何將業務合法 化，是重要的一環。
President car - sharing and bike - sharing are actually no new ideas in other places of the world . And they are well - received by the public and investors . I therefore think that it is very important to find out how to legalize such businesses
政府現時的做法是抱殘守缺，面對政出多門的問題，往往各自為政。
The Governments present approach is too conservative and there is often a lack of coordination among government departments
局長，我想問政府有否考慮修改法例作出配合，以及跟進現代化的需要？
Secretary has the Government ever considered amending the legislation concerned so as to provide support and keep pace with modern developments?
作出法例修改或跟進的配合行動，是否有時間表、路線圖？
Is there any timetable and roadmap for introducing legislative amendments or taking the necessary follow - up actions?
如何避免因新興行業而引起泊位和規劃問題？
How is the Government going to prevent the parking and planning problems arising from the emergence of new industries?
主席，柯議員提及的範圍已超出了單車政策，因他提及汽車問題。
President the issues mentioned by Mr OR are actually beyond the scope of the bicycle policy because he talks about car - sharing
關於共享經濟或共享汽車的問題，我們過去已在多個場合，包括立法會的事務委員會會議上進行多次辯論。
Speaking of issues like the sharing economy and car - sharing I can remember that we have discussed them many times on different occasions including the meetings of the relevant Legislative Council Panel
政府知悉這些新興業務的出現和趨勢，而共享經濟的模式是全球潮流，相信對全世界所有政府、交通管理機構都帶來了重大挑戰。
The Government is aware of the emergence and trends of such emergent businesses . It believes that the sharing economy is a global trend that will pose big challenges to all governments and traffic management institutions in the world
問題在於任何對規管制度或法例所作出的改變，最終也觸及一個政策原則，牽涉以下數方面的政策：第一是道路使用問題，承受能力究竟有多大。
The main point here is that any changes to the regulatory regime or relevant legislation will eventually touch on policy principles . And there are several policy considerations . First it is the issue of road use which is about road space capacity
第二是安全問題。
Second it is the issue of safety
第三是如可透過某種形式租借汽車而不用領取任何牌照，那麼對於任何載客取酬的汽車服務都要領取牌照的政府政策，也會帶來新的問題。
Third if no hire car permits are required for the cars hired out through a certain operating mode then there will be new problems for the Governments policy of requiring a hire car permit for all vehicles in the business of carrying passengers for hire or reward
政府素來沒有規管單車的使用，也沒有規定駕駛單車需要考取或領取牌照。
The Government has never regulated the use of bicycles nor has it ever required cyclists to undergo any cycling test or apply for a licence
因此，過去數十年來，在這種新模式尚未出現之前，社會上可說是各適其適，而且也有提供各種單車服務。
Hence before the emergence of this new operating mode I mean over the past few decades people have been able to use bicycles in any ways they like and there are different kinds of bicycle services to suit their needs
我亦感謝在審議過程中，不同團體和機構向法案委員會表達的意見。
I would also like to thank the deputations and organizations which have expressed their views to the Bills Committee during scrutiny of the Bill
法案委員會詳細討論《條例草案》的內容，提出的各項疑問，政府同事都已一一回應。
The Bills Committee has made detailed discussion and raised various questions on the Bill and government officials have also responded to each of the questions
政府因應經濟合作與發展組織最近對損害性稅務措施的關注，亦研究了團體代表的意見書，為求審慎，進一步建議修正《條例草案》若干條文，並得到法案委員會的支持。
In response to recent concern over harmful tax practices raised by the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development OECD and having studied the submissions from deputations the Government proposed for the sake of prudence further amendments to certain clauses of the Bill
我會在稍後的全體委員會審議階段動議有關修正案。
The amendments have secured the support of the Bills Committee and later I will move the amendments at the Committee stage
他們怕會便宜了大財團，怕政府會少收稅款。
They are concerned that the Bill and the amendments in effect will benefit large consortia and the Government will receive less tax revenue
究竟我們提出這個新的、特殊的稅務安排，哪些人會受益呢？
Who will actually be the beneficiaries of this new and special tax arrangement we have proposed?
我先說全球大趨勢，剛才亦有些議員提到這點。
First of all let me say something about the global trend . Just now some Members also mentioned this point
國際民航發展和在民航發展過程當中，越來越多使用飛機租賃方式，這是大趨勢。
Aircraft leasing has become an increasingly common practice in the development of global civil aviation . This is the prevailing trend
按照評估，預計未來20年，全球航空旅客每年增長約5%，亞太區增幅更高，大概每年增長6%。
According to an assessment global aviation passengers are expected to grow at 5 % per annum over the next 20 years while passengers in the Asia Pacific region are expected to grow at an even faster rate about 6 % per annum
付運全球和亞太區的新飛機數目估計分別達到39,000架和超過15,000架，後者15,000架牽涉24,000億美元。
The number of new aircraft delivered worldwide and in the Asia Pacific are estimated at 39 000 and over 15 000 with the latter valued at US2.4 trillion
此外，透過融資購買新飛機的比率，40年前只是1%，在2011年達到32%，而預計在2020年甚至之前將增加至約四成。
Moreover the proportion of new aircraft purchased by financing rose from 1 % 40 years ago to 32 % in 2011 . This proportion is expected to grow to about 40 % by 2020 or even earlier
按照分析，在2016年，這方面的融資需求達到9,520億元。
According to an analysis financing requirement in this regard reached 952 billion in 2016
我們看看這些數字，很明顯，相關業務方面將會有大幅增加，即是說生意是存在的。
We can see from these figures that apparently there will be sizeable growth in the related industries . In other words the business is there
但是，一直以來，即使香港無論在稅制和其他制度，包括我們的法治和資訊流通等方面做得這麼好，為何在飛機租賃方面反而好像沒有甚麼生意？
But the question is why aircraft leasing has not picked up despite the sound tax regime and other systems in Hong Kong including our rule of law and free flow of information and why business in this regard has all gone to Ireland and recently started to divert to Singapore
我們只是預計在未來20年間，逐漸在全球飛機租賃市場取得約18%的份額。
We estimate that Hong Kong can gradually capture up to about 18 % of aircraft leasing business in the global aircraft leasing market in 20 years time
這些份額來自哪裏？
Where does such business come from?
第一，源自未來20年在全球飛機租賃業務的增加部分；第二，當然也不排除一些原有的公司，可能目前在愛爾蘭和新加坡營運或會轉用香港作為基地。
It comes from first the growth in global aircraft leasing business in the coming 20 years; and second it comes from the assumption we certainly will not rule out such a possibility that existing companies currently operating in Ireland and Singapore may relocate their base to Hong Kong
無論如何，我們不是單靠稅務安排，剛才提到我們其他制度的優勢，我們要靠其他政策、制度方面提供配套，令我們發揮最大的作用。
Nevertheless we do not count on tax arrangement alone . We also count on the many other systems that we have an edge like those I just mentioned and other policies as a complement so as to bring out the biggest potential we have
假如我們能夠既在這些制度上具有吸引力，也在稅務安排上有吸引力，就會有生意，就會有許多有關業務在香港進行，無論是來自內地或海外的市場。
If we can increase the appeal of those systems and the tax arrangement we will be able to attract many related businesses to Hong Kong whether from the Mainland or overseas markets
即是為超過3,200架飛機進行融資，直接僱用人員有1,600多人。
It translates into financing over 3 200 aircraft and directly employing some 1 600 people
當然，有議員問如何計算？
Certainly some Member may ask us how we have arrived at this estimation
任何估算，任何對未來的評估都有許多基本假設。
Any estimation any estimation on the future is based on many basic assumptions
要計算出數字很重要，如果沒有數字，議員就會批評政府拿不出數字來，所以一定要作一些估計。
It is important to arrive at some estimated figures without which Members will criticize the Government for not providing any statistics . Hence we must arrive at some estimated figures
此外，也會使用香港許多優秀的專業服務，包括法律、會計、保險、稅務服務等。
Besides we also need to use many outstanding professional services in Hong Kong including legal accounting insurance taxation services etc
我不再說得益方面的數字，事實上，提交予立法會的資料摘要已一一說明。
I will not go any further on the data on the benefits . In fact these data are provided in the Legislative Council Brief we submitted
但是，我想在這裏嘗試回應剛才一些抱有懷疑態度的議員。
But I would like to try to respond to Members who said just now they had reservation about this tax arrangement
他們指目前有大財團在香港繳交稅款，但繳交稅款的業務不是飛機租賃業務，他們不進行這類型的業務，基本上我們收不到這方面的稅款。
They claim that some large consortia which are now paying tax in Hong Kong are not operating businesses related to aircraft leasing . They say that if these consortia do not operate aircraft leasing business the Government basically cannot receive tax revenue in this regard
假如透過這個特別的稅務安排能夠收到稅款，這些稅款進入政府稅收，就可以用於社會，使社會整體受益。
However if this special tax arrangement can bring in tax payments the Government can receive additional tax revenue which can be used on societal needs for the benefit of the entire society
當然，好處還有就業、對專業服務發展、對我們作為國際金融中心的促進作用，讓我們更立體地發展。
Of course other benefits include providing employment and boosting the development of professional services and strengthening our status as the international financial centre thus making our development more multi - dimensional
《條例草案》的目的是修訂現時的《稅務條例》，藉以提供新的獨立稅務制度，讓合資格飛機出租商及合資格飛機租賃管理商得到利得稅寬減，以加強香港在飛機租賃業務方面的競爭力，這的確是政策性的突破。
The purpose of the Bill is to amend the existing Inland Revenue Ordinance so that we can put in place a new standalone tax regime for qualifying aircraft lessors and qualifying aircraft leasing managers to enjoy profits tax concessions with a view to strengthening the competitiveness of Hong Kong in aircraft leasing business . This is indeed a breakthrough in the policy
