Hong Kong Commerce and Economic Development Bureau: No plans to further adjust the alcohol tax at this stage.

According to the Wise Finance APP, Dr. Edward Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of Hong Kong, stated on July 23 in the Legislative Council that when the Hong Kong government introduced relevant measures, it has fully balanced different policy considerations such as promoting economic development, maintaining fiscal stability, and safeguarding public health. The Bureau will closely monitor the development of the liquor trade and review the effectiveness of measures in a timely manner. Any further adjustments will need to carefully consider the impacts from all aspects and take a long-term perspective. At present, the Hong Kong government has no plans to adjust the liquor taxes again.
