Individuals who emerged as champions in the previous stages of the giveaway revealed to HKFP that the taxes imposed upon them were considerably higher than initially anticipated.
The giveaway on Tuesday is the initial one targeted specifically at individuals residing in Hong Kong, while another giveaway by Hong Kong Airlines is set to take place from July 24 to August 25.
