Mr Christopher Hui Ching-yu, JP Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau 24/F, Central Government Offices 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar Hong Kong
Dear Mr Hui
The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce welcomes the opportunity to comment on the government’s proposal to provide tax concession for carried interest.
We believe the support for private equity fund activities is important to the growth of Hong Kong’s economy and, as such, the proposed initiative could help attract investments and talents, which would in turn be conducive to the promotion of the SAR’s status as an international asset management hub.
We hope you will find our comments useful.
Yours sincerely
George Leung
CEO
