A loving mother is admirable, a loving mother with high knowledge is even more powerful.

The Economic Daily reported earlier this week that the convener of the Executive Council, Yap Lau Suk-yee, bought a residential unit for her daughter to live in. Is it surprising that parents buy a house for their children? Is there anything worth reporting?
Ms IP may give people a strong impression because of her former position as the Secretary for Security. But when it comes to their children, every mother is a loving mother.
It is inevitable that Ms. Ip is a member of the Council and has a high level of knowledge.
According to a report by the Economic Daily, Ms Ip bought a residential unit worth 51.8 million by purchasing a company, which saved 7.66 million in stamp fees compared to buying a residential unit directly. Such a highly knowledgeable and loving mother is even more incredible.
According to Hong Kong law, more than 10% stamp fee is required to be paid for the purchase of residential properties, but the acquisition company (holding property) only needs to pay 0.2% stamp fee, which is quite different.
This is actually just a small trick. Of course, ordinary citizens and investors may not be familiar with various tax-saving methods, but if you have a familiar and experienced professional, such as an accountant, as long as you make more inquiries and learn more, there are actually many ways to reduce taxes legally and reasonably.
