⚠️

⚠ Critical Deadlines & Common Mistakes — Don't Miss These

BIR60 deadline is 2 May each year. Missing it triggers a penalty of up to HK$10,000 and possible prosecution under s.80(2) of the IRO. Personal Assessment election must be claimed on BIR60 annually — it is NOT automatic. Many salaried employees earning under the standard rate threshold miss this election and overpay by HK$8,000–HK$80,000 per year.

Défis courants

Rencontrez-vous ces problèmes fiscaux ?

Missing the Personal Assessment Election

Personal Assessment (s.41 IRO) can cap your effective tax rate at 15% and consolidate all income. Most employees earning HK$500K+ should elect this every year but don't know it exists.

⚠ Risk: HK$8,000–HK$80,000 overpaid per year

Unclaimed Home Loan Interest

Under s.26E, you can deduct mortgage interest up to HK$500,000/year for up to 20 assessment years. Many taxpayers fail to claim all years or submit wrong documentation.

⚠ Risk: Up to HK$60,000 per year in lost relief

Not Maximising TVC Deductions

Tax-deductible Voluntary Contributions to MPF allow an additional HK$60,000/year deduction on top of mandatory contributions. Few employees proactively structure this allowance.

⚠ Risk: Up to HK$10,200 of tax relief unclaimed each year

Self-Education Expenses Overlooked

Under s.26C, courses, professional exams, and continuing education expenses up to HK$500,000/year are deductible. Many professionals either miss this or claim ineligible courses.

⚠ Risk: HK$10,000–HK$60,000 per year unclaimed
Pour qui

À qui s'adresse ce service

Senior executives & directors

Married couples often benefit from filing separately vs jointly depending on income levels. We model both scenarios and elect the most favourable option.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Réponses rapides à vos questions

The standard deadline for filing your BIR60 is 2 May each year. Missing it triggers a penalty of up to HK$10,000 and possible prosecution under s.80(2) of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. Tax representatives can apply for bulk filing extensions. We proactively manage all client deadlines.

Personal Assessment (s.41 IRO) consolidates all your income sources into a single assessment, taxed at progressive rates with total tax capped at 15% of total income. It must be elected annually on BIR60 — it is never automatic. Most employees earning HK$500K+ benefit from this election. You can retroactively elect for up to 6 prior years.

Yes. Under s.26E IRO, you can deduct mortgage interest up to HK$500,000 per year for up to 20 assessment years on your principal residence. Many taxpayers fail to claim all eligible years. We ensure this deduction is correctly claimed and documented.

Provisional salaries tax is approximately 75% of your prior year's final liability. If your income fell, you changed employer, or you left HK, you may be entitled to a holdover under s.63 IRO — but must apply within 28 days of the demand note date. Missing this window means paying the full amount.

Yes. Under the IRO, you can file amended assessments or retroactive Personal Assessment elections for up to 6 years prior. Common retroactive claims include Personal Assessment elections not previously made, home loan interest deductions, and self-education expenses. The IRD refunds include compound interest at 1% per annum.
