Album: People in Sai Kung
People seen and living in Sai Kung + the life on a boat.
GST: Photo 8175 -> The dark side of Hong Kong. Why? Because all civil servants are paid much more than they are worth and got a lot of privileges and paying too little tax. A modern nation can not have an economy like that and therefore the government now tries to introduce a GST in other countries called VAT, which will let the lower income groups pay for the rich so they can keep their privileges. If the government cuts away the privileges they don't need to introduce a new tax - that would be fair for all. The 5% GST is not only 5% on all goods. The percentage will incrase every time there is a middleman involved. The goverment don't even have the manpower or an effective IT-solution to check that all shopowners will pay the GST they collect. I come from a country where everything is reported to the tax-department, but almost all shopowners put some of the VAT in their own pockets. This is not a taxation for a contry like HK where so many have a low income. There is no fair way to control this kind of taxation. No hope for the rag pickers :( 07-12-2006: The goverment has revoked the VAT proposal. :) Nikon D70+Nikkor 300mm F/2.8G VR + 2xTC KenkoPro3 The photo No 5102 has been selected on nikonstunninggallery :)
