Owing to the present need to retrench public expenditure in the Colony it has been necessary to impose a temporary levy on the salaries of officers in the Hong Kong Government Service with effect from the 1st January, 1936.
Salaries expressed in sterling which do not
exceed £240 a year are free of levy.
The graduated rates of levy in other cases
on salaries expressed in sterling are as follows:-
On the first 3340
On the next £360
On the next £400
-
21%
5%
71%
On the next £400
10%
On the remaining portion of nolary above £1,400
181%
The levy is applied to net salaries after deductions
have been wide for contributions to the Hong Kong
Widows' and Orphans' Pension scheme.
Sterling salaries will for purposes of
payment in the Colony be converted, after deducting
levy, at ls.6d. to the dollar during the first quarter of
1936 and at 1s.540. during the second quarter.
At
the end of that period, the rates of levy and method
of conversion will be subject to review.
