He said he had not provided any service to UGL and therefore there was no conflict of interest. He also denied tax evasion.

"Because this [income] is to compensate me for not competing with it [UGL] or poaching its staff, under the taxation system of Hong Kong there is no need to pay any tax," he said.

Leung said the decision was reached after consulting his tax adviser, who had provided written advice. Asked if he could make public the document, Leung gave an indirect answer.
