The Hong Kong Government unveiled a new round of stimulus package of HK$137.5 billion on 8 April 2020 to support businesses and individuals as the Covid-19 outbreak continues to severely damage the global economy. The stimulus package addresses a broad range of issues across various sectors. These measures will go towards helping businesses stay afloat, alleviate some of the financial burdens suffered by individuals and businesses, and ultimately assist the Hong Kong economy in recovering after the pandemic passes.

This latest round of stimulus builds on the HK$120 billion relief package announced in the 2020-21 Hong Kong Budget and also the HK$30 billion Anti-epidemic Fund approved by the Legislative Council in February. The total relief provided by the Government to date has reached HK$290 billion.

To ensure members are aware of the support measures available, HKGCC is delighted to have KPMG partners Ivor Morris and Murray Sarelius to share their insights on these measures, as well as provide practical advice for tax management and employment matters during the present turbulent times. Topics to be covered include:

- A review of the latest relief measures
- What is the impact of the relief measures
- Relief to hard-hit sectors
- How tax can help you mitigate future challenges
- Interpretation of the Employment Support Scheme
- HR considerations for non-redundancy undertakings such as eligibility, whether to seek government support, financial impact, and operational matters
