Upholding the Professional Standard
New Initiatives
Application for Endorsement of CPD Activities
To encourage the activity providers from the trade to
organise more training activities so as to boost CPD
participation, the PDC approved the expansion of the
scope and coverage of its endorsement to include
seminars organised by activity providers who have
more than five years’ experience in providing CPD
activities for the estate agency trade. With effect from 1
October 2014, qualified estate agency companies and
other training providers can submit details of their
seminars to the PDC directly for endorsement of their
activities to be recognised under the CPD Scheme,
rather than going through the assessment procedures
by HKCAAVQ.
Web-based Distance Learning
Web-based distance learning offers flexibility to
practitioners, particularly when they are facing
difficulties in attending face-to-face programmes. To
keep licensees motivated to participate in web-based
distance learning activities, starting from 1 October
2014, the cap of CPD points that can be earned by
undertaking web-based distance learning activities
over a 12-month CPD period has been removed.
The EAA hopes these measures would help widen
licensees’ choices of learning and keep up licensees’
momentum to strive for professional excellence
through life-long learning.
Highlights of CPD Activities Organised
by the EAA
Special Stamp Duty, Buyer’s Stamp Duty and
Ad Valorem Stamp Duty
To draw licensees’ attention to the updated application
and computation of Special Stamp Duty, Buyer’s Stamp
Duty and Ad Valorem Stamp Duty, representatives from
the Inland Revenue Department were invited to give
talks to the licensees on the topics. During the
seminars, EAA representatives also explained the
provisions of the new practice circulars (Circular No.
14-02(CR) and Circular No. 14-03(CR)) on the stamp
duties issued by the EAA during the year. Five seminars
were organised, attracting 916 enrolments (about 5%
of the total enrolments of EAA CPD activities).
