Air QualityIn September 2001, the Department arranged with the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) to adjust the fresh air intake and air balance of its air conditioning and ventilation systems in the Revenue Tower. Cleaning and maintenance of the Tower's Air Handling Units was also completed in December 2001. The results of the Indoor Air Quality Measurement taken in January 2002 indicated that air quality within the measured locations complied with the directive values adopted by the Environmental Protection Department.

Promote Green AwarenessThe Department regularly updated the promotional materials concerning environmental protection displayed on its notice boards. Stickers reminding good environmental practice were affixed next to the relevant facilities. Suggestions on green measures were continuously sought from staff through the Environment and Records Management Committee and the Staff Suggestions Scheme.
Way Forward
Striving towards a paperless communication for its major tax fields and cash receipting system, the Department will continue to develop its electronic services (e.g. electronic submission of forms) and telephone service areas (e.g. TeleTax).
The Department started in March 2002 to migrate some of its pre-printed forms to overlay printing, i.e. printing of forms on plain papers as and when they are required. The retirement of pre-printed forms through the adoption of "form overlay" technology will reduce the production cost of forms and increase the flexibility of various resources.
Full implementation of the "form overlay"
technology is scheduled for May 2003.
