[Hong Kong] “2022 Consumption Voucher” Label Terms and Conditions
commences on 16 May 2022 and ends on 31 October 2022 (both dates inclusive) (the “Campaign Period"). By participating in the Campaign, you accept and agree to abide by these terms & conditions (“Terms & Conditions”).
Hong Kong’s 2021-22 Budget had first announced that electronic consumption vouchers will be disbursed to eligible residents, so as to boost local consumption with a view to accelerate economic recovery. In March 2022, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary announced the implementation of a new round of the Consumption Voucher Scheme (“Scheme”).
At Carousell, we want to drive value for all our users, and make buying and selling as frictionless an experience as possible. We have launched the “Consumption Voucher Scheme (消費券)” label, so that buyers can easily find merchants who accept the vouchers on Carousell, and drive more visibility for our sellers who are participating in the Scheme.
