ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
OF
THE TAXATION INSTITUTE OF HONG KONG
(­»´äµ|°È¾Ç·|)

The Council

71. There shall be a Council of the Institute composed of persons elected by the Institute in Annual General Meeting from amongst the Members thereof.

72. The Council shall be the governing body of the Institute and shall generally manage and conduct the affairs and business of the Institute.

* 73. (1) Without prejudice to the generality of Article 71 the Members of the Council present at the first Meeting of the Council after each Annual General Meeting of the Institute, may elect a President, two Vice-Presidents, Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer and other Honorary Officers of the Institute from amongst their number in such manner and for such purposes as they think fit, the term of office in each case to expire with the close of the next Annual General Meeting, and any casual vacancy in these offices shall be filled for any unexpired portion of the year then current in like manner at the next meeting of the Council after the occurrence of such casual vacancy; special notice of such last-mentioned Meeting and of the existence of any such casual vacancy shall be given to all the Members of the Council. Provided that no Member shall hold the position of the President for more than three consecutive years.

(2) A provision of the Ordinance or these presents requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a Member of the Council and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the same person acting both as a Member of the Council and as or in place of the Secretary.

* 74. The Council shall consist of not fewer than thirteen nor more than twenty-five elected Members.

75. A Member shall not be qualified to be elected a Member of the Council unless there shall have been left at the Registered Office of the Institute written notice signed by a Member duly qualified to attend and vote at the Meeting for which the notice is given of his intention to propose such person for election. Any such notice shall be so left at the Registered Office of the Institute not later than the fourteen days before the Annual General Meeting. A statement under the hand of the person proposing to submit himself for election of his willingness to be elected a Member of the Council shall accompany the said notice.

76. At the Annual General Meeting in every year all Members of the Council for the time being shall retire from office. The Retiring Members shall be eligible for re-election.

77. The Secretary shall before each Annual General Meeting prepare a list of those Members of the Institute nominated for election to the Council and shall post a copy of such list to every Member of the Institute at his registered address at least seven clear days before the Annual General Meeting at which the election of Members of the Council is to take place. Such list shall contain the names, registered addresses and appointments (if any) relating to the nominees named therein.

78. The continuing Members of the Council may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but, if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these presents as the necessary quorum of the Council, the continuing Members may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Members of the Council to that number or of summoning a General Meeting of the Institute, but for no other purpose.

79. The Council shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any Member of the Institute to be a Member of the Council either to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Member of the Council but so that the total number of Members shall not at any time exceed the number fixed in accordance with these presents. Any member so appointed shall hold office only until the next following Annual General Meeting when he shall forthwith retire and shall then be eligible for re-election.


*As amended by Special Resolution passed on 16th November 1993
