邵家輝議員辦事處 – 有關強積金「全自由行」立法建議

各位商會領導及業界朋友：   立法會財經事務委員會將會討論政府提出的強積金「全自由行」立法建議。政府建議分兩階段完成立法工作，先於2025年內完成為新聘僱員的方案（首階段方案）提供法律依據，再於2026年內展開餘下的修例工作，落實現有僱員的方案（次階段方案）。   首階段方案（適用於新聘僱員）的運作模式與「僱員自選安排」大致相同，透過僱員自選強積金計劃的 個人帳戶 ，接收由僱主參加的強積金計劃的供款帳戶轉出的僱主強制性供款。   至於次階段方案（適用於現有僱員），透過僱員自選強積金計劃的 專項帳戶 ，接收由僱主參加的強積金計劃的供款帳戶轉出的僱主強制性供款。這是由於仍有需要區分及追蹤僱主強制性供款的轉移，以作可能的強積金「對沖」之用。   就轉移次數方面，政府建議沿用現時「僱員自選安排」的轉移機制，即一般情況下每個公曆年內一次。   詳情請參閱以下的政府討論文件： https://www.legco.gov.hk/yr2025/chinese/panels/fa/papers/fa20250602cb1-918-3-c.pdf   如有任何意見，歡迎與我們聯絡。謝謝。   邵家輝議員辦事處謹啟
