Authors: Koo, Franklin (顧偉傑) Abstract: This paper seeks to explore the constitutional status of the Special Stamp Duty (SSD) in Hong Kong. While Article 105 of the Basic Law of Hong Kong maintains the right to acquire and dispose property, it has been argued that this right is infringed when the SSD imposes a high rate of taxation of up to 15% in selling the property within two years. This paper will discuss whether this duty infringes on a constitutional right. An examination of this issue will require delving into the constitutional status of SSD through case law. The remainder of the paper will focus the practicality and effectiveness of the SSD and stamp duty. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/6860 Title: Legality of use of force in Libya under international law Authors: Chan, Ka Hang Louie (陳嘉恒) 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/6859 Title: A comparative analysis of the mutual recognition and enforcement regime of arbitral awards and public policy as a refusal ground in Greater China Authors: To, Chi Chung Dennis (杜志聰) 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/6858 Title: The potential challenges of digital technology markets to Hong Kong's competition law (or the other way around) Authors: Sin, Long (單朗) 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
