匯控(00005.HK)因電影投資案遭逾百投資者控告 涉款13億英鎊
據《彭博通訊社》報道,匯控(00005.HK)被過百名投資者控告,涉及13億元英鎊,原告律師指出匯控當時吹捧投資迪士尼電影《加勒比海盜2》及《潮拜購物狂》等,當中或涉虛假承諾,而匯控宣傳相關計劃或已獲取逾2,500萬鎊的利益。
案件是源於英國的電影合作稅務醜聞,自政府提升稅務優惠後電影業投資於90年代尾現膨脹,相關措施亦容許削減個人的稅項,惟英國政府於2007因部分項目合法性存疑而收緊相關規例。在最近的案件中,大部分投資者均破產或被英國政府要求繳回巨額稅款,投資者的代表指出,相關電影投資對迪士尼、匯控及借款銀行而言屬無風險的收入,但對參與的投資者而言則是財務災難。匯控拒就案件作出評論。
