MPF and TVC: The Tax-Free Retirement Strategy Most HK Employees Are Missing
The Mandatory Provident Fund is more than a legal obligation — it is Hong Kong's most tax-efficient savings vehicle. Tax-deductible Voluntary Contributions allow an additional HK$60,000/year deduction that most employees never claim. For employers, MPF compliance failures attract MPFA enforcement penalties starting at HK$5,000. We ensure both employees and employers maximise benefits and stay fully compliant.

⚠ Employer Warning — MPFA Enforcement: Late Contributions Start at HK$5,000 Penalty
Employers must remit both employee and employer contributions by the 10th day of the month following each contribution period. MPFA enforcement penalties start at HK$5,000 per employee per late payment period and escalate significantly. Criminal prosecution under the MPF Schemes Ordinance can result in fines up to HK$500,000 and imprisonment for up to 4 years.

Incorrect Contribution Calculations
Many employers calculate contributions on gross pay rather than "relevant income" (which excludes severance, long service payment, gratuities, and reimbursements). Both under- and over-contribution trigger MPFA enforcement.
TVC Deduction Never Claimed by Employees
The HK$60,000/year TVC tax deduction is one of the most underutilised deductions in HK. Many employees don't know TVC accounts exist. At 17% marginal rate, this costs HK$10,200/year.
Late Employee Enrolment
New employees must be enrolled in an MPFA-registered scheme within 60 days. Many SMEs miss the enrolment deadline, triggering MPFA enforcement and back-contributions.
Wrong Scheme Selection for TVC
TVC must be placed in a designated TVC account — not your regular mandatory account. Different schemes have very different fund options, fee structures, and platforms.
