Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Hong Kong taxation
When is the tax filing deadline in Hong Kong?
The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) usually issues tax returns in early May. Individual taxpayers have one month to file (typically by early June). Businesses may apply for extensions depending on their accounting year-end date — D code (December year-end) has a deadline of mid-August, while M code (March year-end) has until mid-November.
Who needs to file a tax return in Hong Kong?
Anyone who receives a tax return from the IRD is required to file it, even if they have no income or their income is below the taxable threshold. Employees earning above the basic allowance (HK$132,000 for 2023/24), self-employed individuals, and businesses with assessable profits must all file returns.
How is salaries tax calculated in Hong Kong?
Salaries tax is calculated on your net chargeable income (total income minus deductions and allowances). It uses progressive rates from 2% to 17%, but is capped at the standard rate of 15% on net income without personal allowances. You pay whichever amount is lower.
What deductions can I claim against salaries tax?
Common deductions include: MPF mandatory contributions (up to HK$18,000/year), self-education expenses (up to HK$100,000), home loan interest (up to HK$100,000 for 20 years), approved charitable donations, and elderly residential care expenses. Personal allowances also apply based on marital status and dependents.
How can I pay my tax bill?
Hong Kong taxes can be paid via: electronic payment (eTAX online), bank ATM, PPS (phone/internet), designated convenience stores (for bills under HK$5,000), cheque by post, or in person at a post office. Tax is typically payable in two installments — 75% first, then 25%.
Can I object to my tax assessment?
Yes, you can lodge a written objection with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue within one month of the date of the notice of assessment. The objection must state clearly the grounds of objection and the amount of income or profits you consider correct. You must still pay the tax assessed while the objection is being reviewed.
