Those of you who really want to enjoy a sensational dining experience, should book in advance for the 4th floor VIP room or the Yung’s club on the 8th floor. It’s somewhat more expensive but the food and the ambience justify the price⦠Superb Cantonese cuisine at its best.

When you buy a new car or used car, you must be very careful about the fact that you are getting a fare deal. You must ensure that you are not being overcharged and so it is advisable to have a good knowledge about the various finance and leasing packages on offer. Then only you can analyze and find out which one suits you best. In this regard, you can benefit from getting the right advice from someone who has got enough expertise on this field.

Whether you desire to restructure an already existing vehicle, or secure an extra vehicle, Hire Purchase provides many benefits to business. If the vehicle is utilized for purposes that produce income, depreciation and interest charges may be subject to tax deduction.
A Personal Loan enables you to have better financial freedom. Financing of the vehicle is performed with the loan you took and so you can use funds your have for other needs. You can enjoy the vehicle you have with a Personal Loan. By choosing the term of contract, from 24 to 60 months, monthly repayment can be tailored according to your budget.
The only security required is the motor vehicle, although in some situations a guarantee also may be needed. During the contract period budgeting can be done easily, as each payment is fixed.
You can choose to accommodate a balloon (final installment) on the contract, or you can elect a contract by avoiding the balloon, and consequently enjoy complete ownership of the vehicle you have at the end of the contract. Chattel mortgage is especially designed for those sole traders and partnerships, who consider their business operations based on cash. Individual business customers who are accounting based on cash can claim their GST back when they put forward their subsequent Business Activity Statement (BAS).

A Finance Lease is an efficient tool to cut down tax that can suit business requirements without the need to tie up capital. Finance Lease payments are done from pre tax income, before tax profits, permitting a business to accumulate cash flow and use the capital in other areas of the business.
For whatever purposes, which involve income producing using the vehicle, the lessee may claim a deduction in tax. If the financed amount is less than the Depreciation Limit, monthly repayment may be claimed by the lessee as a deduction.
A Personal Lease is a perfect choice when you utilize the vehicle predominantly for domestic, household or personal ideas. The special benefit with leasing is that it allows you to tailor the contract according to your needs.
The motor vehicle being included in the remuneration package of an employee has always been considered as a compelling benefit.
With a Novated Lease it is the employee’s decision as to what kind of vehicle they need, and then it becomes part of a finance lease. The employer, finance company and the employee agree on a ‘Novation Agreement’, and according to this agreement, the employer agrees to undertake the employee’s obligations included in the lease.
According to this arrangement, the monthly payments of lease are made by the employer for the employee. If the employee, for any reason, leaves his or her employment, the ‘Novation Agreement’ is broken. Resultantly, the obligations undertaken by the employer will be on the employee’s shoulders once again. If you receive the right advice and exercise care, you can be a trouble-free car owner.
As one of the world’s most exciting and prestigious brand, Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong offers luxury passenger cars and commercial vehicles extensive choice of Vito, Sprinter, Viano, Actros, Axor and Atego to the customers in Hong Kong and Macau.
