張議員亦說希望政府就業界貸款作出百分百擔保，協助業界有足夠的資金......
It is thus very difficult for the industry to survive this crisis . Mr CHEUNG also said that he hoped that the Government would provide 100 % guarantee for the industry in taking out loan so as to help the industry gather sufficient capital
第三個要提及的業界是運輸界。
The third sector that I wish to talk about is the transport sector
政府公布了第三輪紓困措施，當中為運輸業提供的措施包括向前線的士、小巴司機提供6個月燃料補貼，而專營巴士、商用車輛則獲得一次性5,000元津貼。
Among the third round of relief measures announced by the Government there are measures to help the transport sector including the provision of six - month fuel subsidies for frontline taxi and minibus drivers and a one - off 5,000 subsidy for franchised buses and commercial coaches
司機都對有關措施表示支持，但我在所屬選區擺街站時，仍聽到很多司機叫苦連天，覺得有關措施作用有限，一言蔽之，雖然有關措施獲正面回應，但政府都要做好秩序、環境讓司機經營。
Though supportive of the relevant measures drivers consider them of limited help as I can still hear bitter complaints from drivers at the street booth I set up in my constituency . To put it in a nutshell despite the positive response to the measures concerned the Government should do a proper job in keeping order and providing an environment for drivers to do their business
建造業方面，我早前留意到業界召開了記者會，說現時財委會積壓了逾700億元的工程撥款申請未審批這是大家都知道的事，我 不重複了例如醫院重建等工程項目。
Concerning the construction sector earlier I noticed that a press conference had been held by the sector during which it mentioned that the current backlog of funding applications in FC involved over 70 billion worth of works projects―I will not repeat this well - known fact―including such projects as hospital redevelopments
現時，很多工人的開工日數減少了三分之一，情況非常嚴重。
Now the number of work days of many workers has been reduced by one third and the situation is really severe
業界指近年立法會審批工程項目撥款時快時慢，令業界"一時飽死，一時餓死"，亦導致工人開工不足，影響他們的生計，所以......不過，由於以上幾個行業的工人處於水深火熱之中，局長可否談談，除了增加退稅的百分比之外，局方還考慮為這些行業做甚麼呢？
As pointed out by the sector the unsteady pace of the Legislative Council in scrutinizing funding applications for works projects has made workers in the sector suffer from the plight of dying of overwork at one time and starvation at another and led to their underemployment
主席，我發言支持《2019年稅務條例草案》二讀。
President I rise to speak in support of the Second Reading of the Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill
為了減輕納稅人負擔，"財爺"在本年度的財政預算案建議一次性寬減2018-2019課稅年度75%的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅，每宗個案以2萬元為上限。
To ease the burden on taxpayers the Financial Secretary has proposed in this years Budget one - off reductions of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax for year of assessment 2018 - 2019 by 75 % subject to a ceiling of 20,000 per case
《條例草案》的目的便是修訂《稅務條例》，以實施上述建議。
The purpose of the Bill is to amend the Inland Revenue Ordinance Cap . 112 in order to give effect to this proposal
主席，香港在外憂內患的夾擊下，經濟衰退的風險明顯上升。
President as Hong Kong is plagued by both external and internal problems the risks of an economic recession are obviously on the rise
在8月中，政府將全年經濟增長預測降低為0%至1%，同時"破格"在財政年度中途加碼紓困，公布總額191億元的"撐企業、保就業、紓民困"的措施。
In mid - August the Government lowered the economic growth forecast for the year to 0 % to 1 % and unprecedentedly stepped up efforts to provide relief in the middle of the financial year announcing measures that cost 19.1 billion in total to support enterprises safeguard jobs and relieve peoples burden
除了修訂《條例草案》，將稅務寬免由75%增至100%，上限維持在2萬元外，同時公布綜合社會保障援助及長者津貼等額外發放一個月的金額、公屋住戶免交一個月租金、全港幼稚園、中、小學學生每人派2,500元，以及全民電費補貼2,000元等。
Apart from amending the Bill to increase the tax reductions from 75 % to 100 % while retaining the ceiling of 20,000 the Government also announced the provision of an extra months payment of the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance Old Age Allowance and so on; a one - month rent waiver for tenants of public rental units a subsidy to kindergarten primary and secondary students in Hong Kong at 2,500 per head an electricity charge subsidy of 2,000 to all citizens and so on
"財爺"希望這些紓困措施能夠為香港經濟帶來0.3%的提振作用，期望市民口袋裏有多一點錢，可以透過消費等行為幫助香港經濟。
The Financial Secretary hopes that these relief measures can help boost the Hong Kong economy by 0.3 % . It is hoped that with more money in their pockets the public can support the Hong Kong economy through consumption etc
我們支持《條例草案》，以至其他"撐企業、紓民困"的措施。
We support the Bill as well as the other measures proposed to support enterprises safeguard jobs and relieve peoples burden
倘若特區政府無法止暴制亂，不論政府如何有心地推出多輪紓困措施，對很多市民來說，只是聊勝於無。
If the SAR Government can do nothing to stop violence and curb disorder no matter how committed the Government is in introducing rounds of relief measures these efforts would only be better than nothing to many members of the public
主席，局長，保護人身安全是政府最基本的責任，要恢復香港秩序，重建法治權威，以及重新凝聚市民，還有很多工作有待政府處理，當中固然有緩急先後之分，而目前政府必須處理的，最重要是確保商店免被破壞，市民出門無需擔心，說話亦無需恐懼。
President Secretary it is the most basic responsibility of the Government to protect the safety of the people . The Government must restore social order re - establish the authority of the rule of law and rebuild social cohesion . There are a lot more tasks for the Government to undertake and certainly they have to be prioritized and for the time being the most important task of the Government is to ensure that shops are not vandalized and that the public have no qualms about going out and do not feel intimidated in their speech
主席，受到暴力示威的影響，本地消費意欲持續低迷，店鋪食肆生意已大減。
President subjected to the impact of the violent protests consumer sentiments have remained weak locally and the business of shops and restaurants has dwindled
我最近不斷做"街站"和"落區"的工作，有商店老闆捉住我的手對我說他的生意少了一半，我問他可否公開說出他的慘況，但他拒絕，因為他擔心會被針對，屆時便更慘。
Recently I have kept working at street booths and visiting the districts . Once a shop owner held my hand and told me that his business had dropped 50 % . I asked him if he could give an account of his plights openly but he refused fearing that he would be targeted and would hence suffer even more badly
局長有沒有落區聆聽他們的心聲？
Has the Secretary visited the districts to listen to their views?
有沒有想辦法為他們解決問題？
Have you thought about ways to solve the problems for them?
商店現時因為政治立場，很多中資背景的店鋪被大肆破壞。
At present many shops with Mainland background have been savagely vandalized due to their political stance
有些更慘，由於它們的前老闆或創辦人的親人在聯合國發表的意見引起不滿，結果令店鋪被騷擾。
Some are even in bigger trouble as their shops were disturbed because the former boss or the founders relatives had expressed in the United Nations views causing dissatisfaction
局長，現時不單是大環境導致經濟低迷，而是出現了這些情況，市民周末和周日也不出門，旺區的商店又被迫關門。
Secretary what happens now is not just an economic recession caused by factors in the wider environment but these situations have emerged . The public do not go out at weekends and shops in busy districts are forced to close
局長，除了紓困外，市民更希望看到特區政府以至整個團隊全心全力止暴制亂。
Secretary apart from the relief measures the public all the more wish to see the SAR Government and the entire ruling team stopping violence and curbing disorder wholeheartedly
雖然局長提出的這項《條例草案》只關乎稅務寬免，但稅務寬免只能治標，甚至連治標也說不上，只可算稍為顯示心意，局長可否談談因為我們實在太長時間沒有開會你在過去數月就這方面做了甚麼工作。
This Bill proposed by the Secretary concerns tax reductions only but tax reductions can address only the symptoms or worse still they cannot even address the symptoms and can only be taken as a gesture of goodwill made by the Government . Can the Secretary tell us―as no meeting has been held for too long indeed―what he has done in this respect over the past few months?
正如那天我質詢邱騰華局長，其實我對他的答覆有點失望，他回答時的意思是說沒有到過中資機構或被破壞的商店了解情況。
The other day I asked Secretary Edward YAU a question and actually I was a bit disappointed with his reply . What he meant in his reply was that he did not go to any China - capital organization or vandalized shop to gain some understanding of their situation
除了推出現時的措施外，你的團隊實質做了甚麼幫助他們呢？
Apart from these measures introduced presently what has your team done to practically provide assistance for them?
主席，雖然說這些措施作用不大，但我們都會支持，亦相信有總好過沒有。
President while we said that these measures may not be very useful we will throw weight behind them and we think that having them is better than having none
除了香港面對內憂外患外，其實立法會同樣面對內憂外患。
While Hong Kong is faced with internal and external threats so is the Legislative Council
當時曾參與視察的人主席你當時也在真的感到非常心痛，亦令人感到非常憤怒。
People who joined the inspection―President you were there at the time―really felt heart - rending and indignant
很多激進暴力示威者說要爭取民主、捍衞香港核心價值，但他們所做的是甚麼呢？
Many radical violent protesters said that they must fight for democracy and defend the core values of Hong Kong but what have they done?
連莊嚴的議會也不放過、連商店也不放過、連不同政治立場的商店也不放過。
Not even this solemn Legislative Council was spared; not even the shops were spared; not even shops with different political stance were spared
主席，難道我們說的民主便是這種民主嗎？
President could this be the kind of democracy we are talking about?
難道我們說的民主，便是可以縱容使用極端暴力來摧毀、癱瘓議會運作及癱瘓香港的正常運作嗎？
Could it be that when we talk about democracy it means condoning the use of extreme violence to destroy and paralyse the operation of this Council and to paralyse the normal operation of Hong Kong?
難道我們所說的法治，就是一個沒有立法機關、無法無天，以及誰大誰惡誰夠膽破壞便是正確的香港嗎？
Could it be that when we talk about upholding the rule of law it means that Hong Kong can do without a legislature that it can be in a lawless state where the most powerful and ferocious ones who have the guts to wreak havoc are always right? . President we have really been enraged for a long time
主席，我們真的憤怒很久了，大家可能問為何我們要說這麼多，這是因為近數月以來，我們實在無法向政府表達，亦看不到政府採取有效止暴制亂的措施，市民確實已"嬲到爆炸"。
Members may ask why we have to speak at length . It is because for the past few months there has really been no way for us to express our views to the Government nor can we see the Government taking measures to stop violence and curb disorder . The public have been fuming with rage indeed
主席，破壞容易，建設難。
President destruction is easy but construction difficult
一天便已破壞立法會，但立法會復修需費5,000萬元公帑，需時超過3個月，更要工人日夜趕工才能在新會期開會。
In just one day the Legislative Council Complex was in ruins . But the repairs of the Legislative Council cost 50 million of public coffers and took more than three months to complete . Workers had to work against the clock day and night in order for meetings to be resumed in the new Session
主席，市民看到立法會遭破壞的畫面當然感到心痛，而對於涉及的公帑，大家可能覺得政府有很多錢，但大家有否想過被破壞的商店要承受多少損失呢？
President the public surely felt distressed watching the scenes of sabotage of the Legislative Council Complex and regarding the public coffers involved they may think that the Government is rich but have they thought about the loss suffered by the damaged shops?
早前警察記者會也指出，對於被嚴重破壞的商店，估計有單一店鋪損失達數百萬元，至今被破壞的店鋪已超過100間，直接的經濟損失可能是數以億元計。
Some time ago the Police pointed out at a press conference that for shops damaged seriously there was a case in which a single shop suffered a loss estimated to reach several millions of dollars . So far over 100 shops have been damaged and the direct economic loss thus incurred may add up to hundreds of millions of dollars
他們不單需要紓困措施，還要政府止暴制亂，恢復秩序，讓香港市民可以重新過正常生活。
He needs not only relief measures but also the Government stopping the violence and curbing the disorder to restore law and order so that Hong Kong citizens can resume their normal life
局長你是管治團隊的成員，你也有責任，現在香港面對前所未有的危機，你作為團隊的成員，究竟你們正在做甚麼呢？
Secretary you are a member of the ruling team and you have responsibility for it . Hong Kong now faces an unprecedented crisis . You are a member of the ruling team and what exactly are you doing now?
主席，我亦要感謝秘書處，因為我們能夠繼續開會，秘書處和工作人員的努力必須予以肯定。
President I have to thank the Secretariat because we must recognize the efforts made by the Secretariat and its staff without which we would not have been able to hold meetings here
立法會能夠在數個月內，由破爛不堪及甚麼系統也被完全破壞和割斷，到今天能夠讓我們繼續在此辯論，其實也是因為他們很努力在近數月內日夜趕工。
From being badly damaged with all the systems completely wrecked and cut off the Legislative Council can in a few months time allow us to hold a debate today . This is actually attributable to their efforts in working against the clock day and night in the last several months
政府要解決很多問題，也有很多事情做得不夠好，但連施政報告也無法宣讀，市民也只能觀看直播，我自己也要看畢直播才能作出回應。
The Government has to solve many problems and its performance in many areas has a lot to be desired . But not even the Policy Address could be delivered and the public could only watch the video broadcast . Even I myself had to watch the video broadcast before I could give a response
我也多次問，選不到主席，不能夠召開會議，究竟是誰受害？
As I have asked many times who exactly will suffer when the Chairman could not be elected and meetings could not be held?
我們有這麼多事情要做，外面已弄成這樣，如果議會仍然是一個不能運作的地方，不論作為辯論的地方或讓香港繼續向前的地方，試問市民可以怎樣呢？
We have such a lot of work to do and things are already in such a sorry state out there . If this Council remains inoperable whether as a place for debate or one to usher Hong Kong forward tell me what can the public do?
主席，財委會的情況更令人擔心，我們已積壓了44項超過700億元的工程撥款尚未處理，當中有醫院重建、隧道維修、水務、渠務設施等。
President the situation of the Finance Committee is even more worrying because funding applications for 44 projects costing over 70 billion have been accumulated pending deliberation . These projects include hospital redevelopment repairs of tunnels water works drainage facilities etc
很多區內市民和業界人士也問我們何時會再召開會議，他們真的在等候開工，涉及14,000個職位。
Many residents in the districts and members of industries have asked us when meetings will be held again . They are really waiting to be called to work and 14 000 jobs are at stake
現在全民就業，大家可能不覺得失業的問題很近，但如果香港繼續被"攬炒"，很快便會有市民失業。
We have full employment now and Members may not feel that the unemployment problem is pressing . But if Hong Kong continued to be made a sacrifice there would be people losing their jobs very soon
如果財委會繼續停工，我們不批出撥款，亦會有市民無法開工。
If the Finance Committee continued to stop operating and no funding were approved there would be people being thrown out of work
很多市民是手停口停的，如果一個月、兩個月也沒收入的話，供樓也可能負擔不來，他們的生活將會直接受害。
Many people work from hand to mouth and if they do not have any income for a month or two they may not have the means to service their mortgage and this would directly take toll on their living
所以，儘管大家有不同意見，你可以反對、可以表達，但我認為我們有責任讓議會認真進行討論，特別是財委會那些已積壓多月的工程，我們希望能夠繼續發揮立法會的角色，繼續監察政府。
So even though we may not see eye to eye with each other you can voice your opposition and express your views and I think we are duty - bound to ensure that discussions can be conducted seriously in this Council and especially when those projects have been accumulated for months in the Finance Committee we hope that we can continuously perform the role of the Legislative Council and exercise monitoring on the Government
我們知道，市民也不希望立法會是橡皮圖章，大家可以批評，要求政府改善和改進，但同樣地，市民也不希望立法會不斷阻撓，以致甚麼事情也做不了。
We understand that it is not the wish of the people to see the Legislative Council become a rubber stamp . We can make criticisms; we can demand the Government to make improvement or do better . But meanwhile the public do not wish to see the Legislative Council incessantly caught in an impasse making it impossible for anything to be done as a result
主席，反修例風波已持續4個多月，正如我剛才多次提到，實際上已重創香港的經濟。
President the furore caused by the opposition to the legislative amendment has persisted for more than four months and as I said time and again just now actually the Hong Kong economy is already hard hit
政府早前已發出預警，今年經濟增長可能是零，是10年以來最差。
Some time ago the Government forewarned that the economy may record a zero growth this year the worst for the past decade
剛才有多位商界朋友也指出，今次的打擊比SARS更大。
As also pointed out by a number of Members from the business sector the impact created this time around is even greater than that of SARS
如果大家落區跟商店及業界朋友傾談也會知道，所以，今年極有可能會錄得首年的財政赤字。
Members will know if they have visited the districts and talked to the shops and members of the industries . Therefore it is highly likely that a fiscal deficit will be recorded this year
當然，我們有儲備，但也不能輕視未來的風浪究竟有多大，因為現時香港面對的不單是香港本土的問題，示威看似只是香港的事情，但大家也明白今次這事件是在中美貿易戰之下發生，然後釀成這麼大的風波。
Of course we have reserves but we cannot belittle the scale of the imminent storms because Hong Kong now faces not only local problems . The protests seem to be the business of Hong Kong only but we all understand that they occurred against the backdrop of the China - United States trade war and a furore of such an extensive scale is hence developed
所以，我們遭受的內憂外患是本地示威持續，加上中美貿易戰持續，而大家也看到，現在連台灣也加入戰團當中，可見香港的情況是多麼複雜，我們亦看不到這些政治風波可以在短期內平息。
Therefore we are caught in both internal and external troubles caused by the ongoing protests locally and the continued trade war between China and the United States and Members can see that even Taiwan has entered the fray too . So we can see how complicated the situation of Hong Kong is and we do not see how these political unrests can be calmed in a short time
所以，我們必須小心謹慎，政府亦要為我們緊密注視情況，最重要的是恢復秩序，止暴制亂，讓市民過正常生活，市民便會真正多謝你，希望局長稍後能有合適的回應。
Such being the case we must be very careful and the Government must closely watch the developments for us . It is most imperative to restore social order and stop the violence and curb the disorder so that peoples living can resume normal and in that case the people will really be thankful to you . I hope the Secretary can give a suitable response later on
這段期間，政治動盪，社會出現亂局，大家回到這裏，開始發表個人意見，而我萬萬沒想過，原來大家已習慣了我們的社會會用"曱甴"來形容人。
This is a period marked with political turmoil and social unrest . When we are back here to begin expressing our views I do not expect that Members have grown so used to our society describing people as cockroaches
說得膚淺些，何君堯議員剛才的言論可說是下三流，若我用嚴肅的說法，則他的言論是反人類和反人道的，那是普世罪行。
To put it plainly what Dr Junius HO said could be described as vulgar . And if I put it in serious terms his remarks are against human and humanity something regarded as a universal crime
沒可能用"曱甴"來描述人的。
The word cockroach just should not be used to describe people
而且，他不能確定那些同學是否示威者或他口中的暴徒。
What is more he cannot be sure whether those students are protesters or rioters as he called them
我以下的發言會以他作為例子，清楚說明為何稅務寬免無法安撫香港的地產商、發展商、財團、從事小生意的商人，甚至大眾市民，以及為何在這段時間他們會寢食不安，感到香港再不是香港。
In the following part of my speech I will use him as an example to clearly explain why this tax concessionary measure cannot possibly comfort property developers conglomerates small businessmen or even the general public and why they have been restless over this period of time feeling that Hong Kong is no longer the Hong Kong they used to know
現在很多商鋪不斷被人損毀和破壞，原來保險並不承保。
It has nothing to do with the number of times his office has been vandalized as there is simply no insurance coverage for this kind of damage . These days many shops have persistently been damaged and trashed and the damage they suffered is not covered by insurance
是因為保險業界的陳健波議員監察業界不力，條例訂得不清楚？
Is it because of the failure of Mr CHAN Kin - por the representative of the insurance industry in monitoring his industry properly and the ambiguities in the relevant legislation?
有說要視乎個別情況。
Some say it all depends on individual circumstances
這些問題一點一滴地累積。原來，我們香港有這麼多不公平的制度。
Questions like these gradually accumulate and we now realize that there is a lot of unfairness in Hong Kongs system
陳健波議員剛才發言時，指在這段期間，香港經濟大受損害，沒有人做生意，只要你說一句支持政府的話，罵一聲那些暴徒，便會被人破壞你的店鋪今天也有一間餐廳被人打碎玻璃，但那間餐廳似乎不是支持政府的你可能因有少許不同的意見便被人"私了"。
In his speech just now Mr CHAN Kin - por claimed that Hong Kongs economy had been seriously undermined during this period of time with businesses unable to operate as anyone uttering just a word of support for the Government and a word of criticism against the rioters would end up having his or her shop trashed―today a restaurant had its glass smashed but it seems that the restaurant is no supporter of the Government―and people might be subjected to mob justice because of their dissenting views
陳健波議員問："為何在香港，我們的經濟、社會和市場不受保障，連做生意的機會都沒有？
Mr CHAN Kin - por asked Why have our economy society and market become unprotected in Hong Kong and the opportunity for business vanished?
可是，如果你看回統計數字，踏入2019年，基本上，每天平均有3至5人自殺身亡。
But then a look at the statistics will tell you that there has been a daily average of three to five suicidessince 2019
在你賺錢的時候，有多少人正住在"劏房"呢？
When you are earning money how many people are living in subdivided units?
你在市場上買了一份保單時，有多少香港貧苦大眾連看醫生也有困難呢？
When you buy an insurance plan in the market how many poor people in Hong Kong have difficulty affording medical care?
這些問題一直累積，因此，今時今日一下子爆發。
The continuous accumulation of these problems has resulted in their sudden eruption today
他認為如果市民有能力住大屋，月入10萬元，他們便不會出來搞事。
In his opinion if people can afford a big house and earn 100,000 a month they will not come out to make trouble
他們看到議員便"眼冤"；看到官員便"眼冤"；看到執法人員便"眼冤"。
They are irritated at the sight of Legislative Council Members . They are irritated at the sight of government officials . They are irritated at the sight of law enforcement officers
局長平常有去九龍城嗎？
Secretary do you go to Kowloon City?
有一個例子，就是即使有催淚彈，雖然店鋪有勇氣面對市民，繼續營業，結果所有商品都沽清。
One example is that despite the tear gas a shop had the courage to remain open to the public and continued business as usual . In the end it sold out of all its goods
局長，我已重複了很多次，你現在所想的財政方案......
Secretary I have already repeated myself many times
其實你要緊記，如果你不想我該這麼說如果你會留在香港的話，那就沒甚麼所謂，你做甚麼都可以，但長遠來說，如果你未必留在香港的話，那就要自己看着辦了。
The financial measures in your mind right now actually please bear in mind that if you do not want―I should put it this way―if you are going to stay in Hong Kong it will be alright for you to do whatever you want . But if you in the long run may not stay in Hong Kong you had better play it by ear
無論誰當特首，都會面對問題，問題就在《基本法》。
Anyway whoever becomes the Chief Executive will be confronted with the same issue stemmed from the Basic Law
即使10年後有普選，還有2047的問題存在，所以，大家要先看看《基本法》。
Even if there is universal suffrage 10 years later the issue of 2047 will still be there . That is why we have to look at the Basic Law first
主席，特區政府在今年的財政預算案建議一次性寬減2018-2019課稅年度75%的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅，每宗個案以2萬元為上限。
President the SAR Government proposed in the Budget this year one - off reductions of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax for year of assessment 2018 - 2019 by 75 % subject to a ceiling of 20,000 per case
預計有關建議可惠及191萬名薪俸稅及個人入息課稅納稅人，以及145,000個須繳稅的法團及非法團業務。
It is estimated that the proposal will benefit 1.91 million taxpayers of salaries tax and tax under personal assessment and 145 000 tax - paying corporations and unincorporated businesses
政府收入將因而減少189億元，當中170億元涉及薪俸稅和個人入息課稅，19億元涉及利得稅。
As a result government revenue will be reduced by 18.9 billion of which 17 billion is related to salaries tax and tax under personal assessment and 1.9 billion is related to profits tax
今次的《2019年稅務條例草案》希望透過修訂《稅務條例》，落實有關建議。
The Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2019 the Bill seeks to implement the relevant proposal by amending the Inland Revenue Ordinance
預算案提出稅務寬免，相信最能受惠的是中產人士。
The middle class are believed to benefit most from the tax concessions proposed in the Budget
能夠紓緩中產人士的財政壓力，減輕他們的生活負擔，我自然非常支持。
The proposal which can alleviate the financial pressure of the middle class and ease their burden of living certainly has my strong support
事實上，寬減薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅基本上已成為每年度預算案的"例牌菜"。
In fact reductions of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax have basically become a routine of annual budgets
翻查資料，自2011-2012年度的預算案開始，特區政府已連續9年提出寬免75%的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅等措施，問題只是這碟菜是豐富點還是清淡點，例如稅務寬免的上限孰高孰低、有否增加子女免稅額或供養父母或祖父母的免稅額等。
According to the information I have looked up since the 2011 - 2012 Budget the SAR Government has proposed such measures as reductions of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax by 75 % for nine years in a row . The difference lies only in whether they are dished out in a generous or not - so - generous manner such as whether a high or low ceiling is imposed on such tax reductions or whether there is an increase in child allowance or dependent parent or grandparent allowances
與去年相比，特區政府去年的預算案似乎較為慷慨，薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅的稅務寬免上限為3萬元，較今年的2萬元為 多，而去年特區政府亦擴闊稅階，以及相應增加子女基本及額外免稅額，以及供養父母或祖父母的免稅額。
Compared with last year the Budget introduced by the SAR Government last year seems more generous with the reductions of salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax capped at 30,000 which was more than the ceiling of 20,000 this year . And last year the SAR Government also widened the tax bands and increased the basic and additional child allowances and dependent parent or grandparent allowances accordingly
誠然，2018-2019年度政府的財政盈餘只有587億元，較上年的1,489億元減少近1,000億元，但在環球經濟不明朗、印花稅和地價收入較預期有所減少的情況下，仍可達到近600億元盈餘。
Indeed the fiscal surplus of the Government has decreased by almost 100 billion from 148.9 billion last year to 58.7 billion only in 2018 - 2019 . But with an uncertain outlook of the global economy and the lower - than - expected revenue from stamp duty and land premium it has still recorded a fiscal surplus of nearly 60 billion
