HK property tax is charged at a flat 15% on net assessable value — but the rules around deductions, mortgage interest, jointly owned properties, and the personal assessment election can make a significant difference to what you actually pay.

⚠️

⚠ Many HK Landlords Miss the Personal Assessment Election

Property tax is charged at a flat 15%. But if you have a mortgage or other losses, electing Personal Assessment consolidates all your income under salaries tax rates, allowing mortgage interest as a deduction. At lower income levels, this can reduce your effective tax rate substantially — yet most landlords never make this election.

Типичные сложности

Сталкиваетесь ли вы с этими налоговыми проблемами?

Calculating Net Assessable Value

Property tax is assessed on your rental income less rates paid by you and less a 20% statutory allowance. Getting this wrong means either overpaying or underpaying.

⚠ Risk: Incorrect NAV → IRD assessment + interest

Mortgage Interest Deduction

Under property tax alone, mortgage interest is NOT deductible. You must elect Personal Assessment to claim mortgage interest against rental income.

⚠ Risk: Paying 15% flat rate instead of effective 5–10% → significant overpayment

Joint Ownership Complications

Co-owners must each declare their proportionate share of rental income, and the election for Personal Assessment must be made individually.

⚠ Risk: Incorrect share reporting → IRD query on both parties

Tenancy Agreement Compliance

All tenancy agreements should be stamped (Stamp Duty) and deposits correctly treated — IRD cross-checks stamp duty records against property tax returns.

⚠ Risk: Unstamped tenancy → Stamp Duty penalty + tax inquiry

Вопросы и ответы

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Быстрые ответы на ваши вопросы

Under s.5B of the IRO, a standard 20% deduction is allowed from your net rental income (after rates deduction) to cover repairs, insurance, and management expenses. You do not need to prove actual costs — the 20% is allowed automatically. This means effective property tax on gross rent is approximately 12% (15% × 80%).

Not under property tax itself — the IRO does not allow mortgage interest as a deduction from property tax assessable value. However, if you elect Personal Assessment, your rental income is assessed alongside your other income under salaries tax rates, and mortgage interest on the rental property becomes deductible. This is usually more beneficial for mortgaged properties.

If your tenant pays the rates directly to the Rating and Valuation Department, they are excluded from your rental income calculation. If you collect rates as part of the rent, you deduct the rates element from your gross rental income to arrive at the figure before the 20% statutory deduction.

Each co-owner declares their 50% share of the rental income in their individual property tax return. Each person can independently elect Personal Assessment based on their own circumstances. We coordinate joint returns to ensure both owners' positions are consistent and optimally structured.

Only the period when the property was rented generates assessable rental income. Vacant periods do not give rise to a tax liability, but you should be able to demonstrate the vacancy (e.g., estate agent records, utility bills showing low or no usage) if queried by the IRD.
