Taipei Dome Revenue Share Method Revealed 柯:大巨蛋營收分潤計算 將採包底抽成方式

Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je announced the revenue sharing calculation method for Taipei Dome today. Deputy Mayor Vivian Huang was also present to provide more details, but DPP city councilors criticized the calculation formula, saying it was totally anticlimactic for such a large site. 

Ko Wen-je, Taipei Mayor："If we go back to seven years ago, I still don't know how to deal with this big dome. I have to solve the problems that were leftover from Taipei's previous issues."

The dispute over the 0 royalties over Taipei Dome has attracted much attention. Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je held a press conference early in the morning to announce the calculation method of the Dome's revenue sharing mechanism. The revenue share ratio is 0.6 percent to 1.2 percent if the estimated revenue is below 100 percent. The ratio will be adjusted to 0.7 percent to 1.8 percent if revenue exceeds 20 percent of the minimum guarantee. If revenue exceeds 20 percent, the ratio will be 1.4 percent to 3.6 percent.

Vivian Huang, Taipei Deputy Mayor："The estimated revenue is to be reported by Farglory. They can report more, or they can report less. But if they report less, his excess revenue will be high. The more they report, the less they pay in revenue share. So no matter what, the Taipei City Government will not lose in this deal."

Huang added that, for example, for every NT$1,000 in revenue Taipei Dome generates, the Taipei City Government will receive NT$6, which is 0.6 percent. In other words, if the Dome's actual revenue is NT$5 billion, the city government can receive NT$30 million a year.  However, DPP city councilors criticized the revenue sharing calculation method. They criticized the deal as "anticlimactic" as it was disproportionate considering the Dome's 10.2-hectare site.

Chien Shu-pei, Taipei City Councilor (DPP)："If the annual revenue of the Dome in the future is NT$5 billion per year, the rent per ping earned by Taipei City is only a few thousand NT dollars. Can Taipei Citizens accept this? This is just Mayor Ko wanting to avoid responsibility as he steps down. This is a hasty approach."

Huang said that the most difficult part of the process is how to find the midpoint of revenue sharing both sides can agree to. The key is to hope that the Taipei Dome will make more money so that the city's citizens can share more.  As of the reporting deadline, Farglory Group has not responded, only saying that it will explain more later on.

台北市長 柯文哲表示：「就是這樣啦！這個大巨蛋，回到七年前，我還是不曉得怎麼處理，就是歷史共業。」

大巨蛋0權利金爭議備受關注，台北市長柯文哲一早召開記者會宣布大巨蛋營收分潤的計算方式，將採包底抽成方式進行。包底如果預估營業收入在100%以下，計收比例為0.6%到1.2%，抽成部分，如果超過包底20%以內，比例將調整為0.7%到1.8%，若超過20%，計收比例為1.4%到3.6%。

台北市副市長 黃珊珊表示：「預估營收，是要他(遠雄)報出來，他可以報多，他可以報少，但是他報少，他的超額就高，他報多，他的超額就少。所以無論怎麼樣抽，台北市政府都不會損失。」

黃珊珊補充說明，舉例來說大巨蛋只要開始營運有營收一千元，北市府就會分得6元，也就是百分之0.6，換句話說，若大巨蛋實際營收50億元，北市府可分得一年分潤3000萬元。不過，綠營議員批評以大巨蛋10.2公頃的佔地來說，營收分潤的計算方式根本是虎頭蛇尾。

民進黨台北市議員 簡舒培表示：「如果未來大巨蛋，每年營業額是50億，台北市收回來的每坪租金，只有幾千塊而已，台北市民能夠接受嗎？這也不過就是柯文哲想要卸任，逃避責任，這個草率了事的一個做法。」

黃珊珊表示，過程當中最困難的部分就是，營收分潤金額如何經過協商找到平衡點，但重點是希望大巨蛋做得更好、賺更多，台北市民才能分得更多。而遠雄集團截至截稿時間，仍未回應，僅表示，將再說明。
