Vehicle and Driving Licence Fees
119.
My second proposal is to increase with immediate
effect vehicle and driving licence fees from the level set
last year.
I share my predecessor's view that this is a
sensitive area to which the 'little and often' principle
particularly applies (45). I therefore propose increases
of around 5%. I estimate that the additional revenue
accruing from these increases in 1987-88 will be $45
million.
Visa and Travel Document Fees
120.
My last proposal on fees and charges concerns
certain visa and travel document fees. Most of these fees
were last increased in 1984 (46). I therefore propose
immediate increases averaging 12% for those fees
affected. The additional revenue in 1987-88 will be
around $20 million.

(46)
The fees payable for an ordinary visa for Hong Kong and for a change of conditions of stay or an extension of a limit of stay in Hong Kong were further increased in 1985.
