| 1. |
The subsidy may be granted in the following alternative forms: |
| |
(a) |
Where the applicant's booking of the venue does not require payment of Charge Based on Sales, the applicant will pay the Basic Hire Charge less a discount (65% off for the major facilities #(see Note 1) and 50% off for the minor facilities #(see Note 2), rounded up/down to the nearest hundred dollars (major facilities) or to the nearest ten dollars (minor facilities)). |
| |
(b) |
Where the applicant's booking requires payment of Charge Based on Sales, the applicant will have to pay such Charge Based on Sales but will be granted a discount off the Basic Hire Charge, subject to the exceptional cases in (c) and (d) below. An example is given as follows for illustrating (b): |
| |
|
| Basic Hire Charge |
- $20,000
|
| Discount offered |
- $20,000 x 65% = $13,000
|
| Charge Based on Sales |
the specified percentage (say 20%) of the ticket proceeds from the function (say $150,000) less the Basic Hire Charge ($20,000)
i.e. $150,000¡Ñ20%-$20,000 =$10,000 |
| Total hire charges payable by the applicant |
- ($20,000- $13,000)+$10,000=$17,000 |
|
| |
(c) |
Where the applicant's booking ordinarily requires payment of Charge Based on Sales but the applicant is a non-profit-making arts organization with a clearly stated aim to promote the arts in its constitution, the applicant will enjoy both the discount off the Basic Hire Charge and a waiver of the Charge Based on Sales. In the case of the above example, the amount of hire charges payable will only be: |
| |
|
$20,000-$13,000=$7,000
|
| |
(d) |
Where the applicant's booking ordinarily requires payment of Charge Based on Sales but the function is for charitable fund-raising, the applicant will enjoy a waiver of the Charge Based on Sales but will have to pay the full Basic Hire Charge ($20,000 in the case of above example). |
| |
|

No waiver or discount will be granted for charges for miscellaneous services, equipment and other reimbursables. |
