Taxation
Hong Kong tax compliance and planning under the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112) — accurate filings, defensible positions, and experienced handling of IRD correspondence.
Who needs it?
Every Hong Kong company receives a Profits Tax Return, every employer must file annual Employer’s Returns for staff, and property owners with rental income are assessable to Property Tax. Individuals with employment income file their own returns and can often save through elections such as personal assessment.
Hong Kong’s tax system is simple in outline — three direct taxes, territorial source — but the details reward attention: the two-tiered profits tax rates, offshore claims, deduction rules and holdover applications can each move the final bill materially.
