炒意大利著名時裝品牌PRADA股 要向意大利政府交重稅

炒PRADA 要交重稅

(星島日報    報道)意大利    著名時裝品牌PRADA昨天在港交所    網站上載初步招股書,揭開來港上市的序幕。雖然市場預期PRADA招股將掀起熱潮,但投資者要留意持有PRADA股份要向意大利政府繳稅,包括在派息前要先扣除兩成七股息稅,將影響投資者的股息收入。假如是大手買賣的基金或大戶,更有可能要繳付資本收益稅,稅額大約相當於交易利潤的一成四。

  預計來港集資二十億美元    (一百五十六億港元)的PRADA,將會是首家來港上市的意大利公司,對於習慣簡單稅制的香港投資者來說,亦是首次面對如此高的稅率。據了解,本港監管機構亦有留意到意大利稅制對香港投資者的影響,但認為只要在招股書披露詳情,不會有大問題。以資本收益稅來說,相信甚少投資者會主動向意大利政府報稅    ,在香港收稅執行上有很大困難。至於股息稅方面,由於是預先扣除,投資者恐怕要「打定輸數」。


  少量買賣 毋須繳稅


  PRADA初步招股書提及的資本收益稅,在香港是全新事物。香港投資者買賣少量PRADA股份,即使賺了錢,也毋須向意大利政府繳付這種稅項,但進行大手交易的基金,卻可能因此要繳稅。繳稅過程亦相當複雜,包括要在意大利領事館取得稅務證明號碼,並且要以意大利文填寫資料,以及透過意大利銀行轉帳稅款。


  繳稅退稅手續複雜


  PRADA表示會印製一本英文小冊子介紹繳稅程序。沒有按意大利法例繳稅,「理論上」會被罰相當於稅款一點四倍的罰款。


  至於股息稅方面,派息前先扣起兩成七稅款,但股東可以申請「抵免退稅」,最多可以退回預扣股息稅的九分之四。PRADA股東可以在派息日的四十八個月之內,向意大利稅務局    呈交退稅申請。PRADA將會研究一些方便股東申請退稅的機制,但並沒有披露詳情。現時香港股民透過證券行持有國企,已經遭內地抽去一成的預扣股息稅,但意大利的稅率卻比內地高得多。


  證券界:投資看增長潛力


  AMTD證券業務部總經理鄧聲興認為,投資PRADA主要是看中其增長潛力,並不是為了收息,因此股息稅雖然高,PRADA也一樣可以在香港掀起認購熱潮。本身是PRADA產品「粉絲」的鄧聲興表示,他本人會否認購,還要看定價以及估值而定。


  另一方面,早前PRADA在日本    涉及性騷擾以及不公平解僱的糾紛,中國勞動透視聯絡人鍾明麗表示,有關的受害人以及日本婦女工會的代表,將會在本月中來港,向Prada管理層抗議。

Chinese key target in Vancouver condo push

(Reuters) - In Vancouver, Canada's hottest real estate market, one marketer is targeting Chinese buyers with a new get-a-deal spin on condos.


Sales and marketing firm The Key launches an online real estate venture later this month, offering week-by-week discounts. The first one promises savings of C$200,000 ($206,000) if a buyer snaps up two condos rather than one.

"They'll do whatever they have to do to get a deal. They're going to be a huge group ... and getting a better deal than they could ever get on their own," said The Key President Cam Good, who says his special offer web site is modeled on daily deal service Groupon.


Good tried a version of bulk selling in the soft Vancouver real estate market of early 2009, pre-negotiating a deal with a developer and selling 400 condos in 90 days, a move that helped spark a turnaround in the Vancouver market.


"There's a huge appetite for getting a deal, no matter whether the market is strong or not," he said.


The first venture will offer savings on two waterfront condo developments near Vancouver. In one, buyers can save C$200,000 or more by purchasing twin units that they can combine and customize into "a dream home in the sky."


Good hopes to be able to offer a new one-day deal every Saturday in a sales concept that could spread to other Canadian condo markets like Toronto and Calgary.
