GST survey
In mid-September, while there are heated debate on the Hong Kong Government's plan to introduce GST, Tam released the interim results of a GST survey, conducted by the East Asia Work Based Learning Centre of the Middlesex University. 311 out of 26,000 of the territory's accountants responded to the survey, of which 62 percent oppose a GST. In the report, Tam concluded that the majority of respondents oppose a GST, and further suggested that the government should look into other means to broaden its tax base. [1] However, with the response rate of just 1.2 percent, many doubt its accuracy. In a response letter from the HKICPA, the institute also expresses doubt on her findings.[2]
