-   -   Hong Kong Government to give $6000 to Permanent Residents! (https://www.revscene.net/forums/639029-hong-kong-government-give-%246000-permanent-residents.html)

Offtopic question, but I was talking to someone today who's parents had business in china, but why would they not open a bank account if they are a canadian resident and lived here for 15 years? Is it something to do with tax evasion?

Those who have NOT paid tax and live abroad shouldn't be allow to take the money instead. They have not contributed financially, or physically into the society. Think alternatively, if Hong Kong government is in deficit, and require each citizen to pay 6000 for this fiscal year, these people will complain that they have not burdened the government within this time frame just the same. .
Oh you mean like half the people living in Richmond?

Bank of China's deadline for an HKD account is monday
costs $80 to open up
once thats done, you can submit the form for the $6000 to be transfered into that account

Only the Dunsmir Branch can do this.

ACT NOW!

Lol yeah Richmond stopped doing it > a month ago when I last went, procrastinated until today to do it at the downtown branch. Great customer service, I think teller's name was Grace Ng. Super helpful and decent english too, guy she helped before me was super appreciative of how considerate she was.
Can confirm monday is the last day. I have a feeling when BOCHK calls me and asks my citizenship I will slip out "Canadian" but whatever, fingers crossed.

The fees they charge if you're below minimum balance are pretty expensive eh?

Sadly, don't think there is another round this year....but in Macau, they have been paying over 50,000 = $6200cdn in the past 4 years. I am expecting another $1000cdn will be paid this year, awesome government they are.

That's sorta in part hush hush money for opening up the gambling scene and letting FOBS literally ruin their city.

Sorta in part? It's exactly what it is. But the local population is so low, I guess it works.

The HK $6000 scheme is also exactly the same. Hush hush money, but it doesn't seem to work on such a large population, as we see with all the protests that continue to take place. In fact the latest protests (the government wanted to add "morality lessons" to the compulsory school curriculum.. basically teaching HK students how to be good communists) was eventually shot down due to starvation and student walkout protests.

it works because the Macau government get paid 50billion from the casino tax, only 3% used in government expenses and welfare, 2% to those hush hush cash. What happen to the rest of the money? who knows. Probably people are balling in communist style.

Did you make sure you apply to scheme6000 online after you opened your account?

My friend missed the BOC deadline. Does anyone know when the HSBC deadline is?
