Environment-friendly Facilities
127.
I propose to provide a 100 per cent profits tax deduction for capital expenditure on environment-friendly machinery and equipment in the first year of purchase to encourage the business community to use such equipment. For environment-friendly installations mainly ancillary to buildings, I propose that the depreciation period be shortened from the usual 25 years to five years. The Inland Revenue Department and the Environmental Protection Department will announce the list of environment-friendly facilities that would qualify for the deduction.
