A 26-year-old tattooist who works from his flat in a Tuen Mun public housing estate is being ridiculed by internet users for doing a clumsy copy of one of soccer star David Beckham's tattoos for a client. A photo of the tattoo - a Chinese proverb which translates as, "Life and death rests in the hands of fate. Rich and noble arranged by God" - was posted online. But one of the characters is wrong, and internet users say the writing resembles that of a child. He offered to improve his client's tattoo for free.
The Inland Revenue Department investigated 1,804 cases of tax evasion and avoidance last year - the most since the global financial crisis in 2008. It recovered a total of HK$6.85 billion - nearly 80 per cent more than in 2011. A taxation expert said that the huge increase was mainly because it settled a number of cases that had dragged on for years and the tax involved was repaid all at once.
