When the IRD issues an assessment, opens a field audit, or threatens prosecution, every day without professional representation increases your liability. Our specialists have defended hundreds of taxpayers across all stages — from initial audit letters to the Board of Review and Court of First Instance.
⚠ Critical Deadline Warning — The 1-Month Objection Period Is Absolute
Under s.64 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance, you must lodge a formal notice of objection within 1 month of the date shown on the assessment notice. Miss this deadline and the assessment becomes final and conclusive in law — regardless of whether the tax demanded is factually incorrect or legally unjustifiable. The Commissioner's discretion to accept late objections is extremely narrow. If you have received any IRD assessment notice, contact a tax dispute specialist today.
Sehen Sie sich mit diesen Steuerproblemen konfrontiert?
Received an IRD Field Audit Letter
An IRD field audit spans 6–18 months with comprehensive document requests under s.51(4). Without specialist guidance, taxpayers routinely over-disclose, make inadvertent admissions, and expand the inquiry scope to additional years.
Excessive or Incorrect Assessment
The IRD issues estimated assessments that can be wildly inaccurate. You have precisely 1 month to formally object — after which even a factually wrong estimated demand becomes your legally binding liability.
Undisclosed Income or Offshore Funds
Undeclared offshore accounts and unreported income carry up to 200% additional tax penalty under s.82A. Voluntary disclosure before IRD contact can reduce this to as low as 10% under DIPN 11.
Prosecution Risk for Wilful Evasion
Wilful tax evasion under s.82 carries fines of up to HK$50,000 plus 300% of evaded tax and potential imprisonment. Early professional engagement before the IRD forms its view is the most effective protection.
