only A will make more people need to pay tax. for example, current 免稅額 is HK$100K, people earn less than HK$8333 per month no need to pay tax. but if 免稅額 decrease to HK$90K, the ones makes HK$8333 then need to pay tax.
Answer is A. The purpose of broadening the taxable base is to get more people to pay tax. People with income less than the tax allowance do not need to pay income tax. When tax allowance is lowered, people who previously do not need to pay tax are not required to pay tax.
Answer C and D only make people who are already paying tax pay more tax. These measures do not make more people pay tax.
