⚠️

⚠ Most HK Taxpayers Are Leaving Money on the Table

Studies suggest that the majority of HK individual taxpayers do not claim all allowances and deductions they are legally entitled to. The IRD does not volunteer deductions on your behalf — you must claim them. A proactive tax review typically identifies HKD 20,000–HKD 150,000 in missed savings for salaried professionals earning above HKD 500,000.

よくあるお悩み

以下の税務問題でお困りではありませんか?

Unclaimed Allowances and Deductions

Dependent parent allowance, child allowance, self-education expenses, QDAP deductions — each has specific qualifying conditions that most taxpayers fail to check annually.

⚠ Risk: Paying tax on income that should have been sheltered by allowances

Suboptimal Spousal Assessment Election

Married couples should review joint vs separate assessment every year. Which is optimal depends on relative incomes — and it changes.

⚠ Risk: Fixed election every year → overpaying as income ratio shifts

Wrong Income Timing

Receiving a bonus in March vs April crosses tax years. Exercising share options, making QDAP contributions, or selling assets at the wrong time can cost significantly.

⚠ Risk: Bonus in March → higher current-year tax; received in April → lower rate

Not Using QDAP / TVC Deductions

The HKD 60,000 QDAP/TVC deduction is one of HK's most powerful individual tax reliefs — yet fewer than 20% of eligible taxpayers fully utilise it.

⚠ Risk: Unused QDAP capacity → paying 15% tax on HKD 60,000 that could have been sheltered

The QDAP (Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy) and MPF Tax Deductible Voluntary Contribution deduction of up to HKD 60,000 per year is consistently underutilised. At the 15% standard rate, using this deduction fully saves HKD 9,000 every year — HKD 90,000 over a decade. Most eligible taxpayers either do not know about it or have not set up a qualifying product.
There is no single answer — it depends on your relative incomes and applicable allowances. Joint assessment (Married Person's Assessment) consolidates income and applies the higher married person's allowance (HKD 264,000) and one set of progressive rates. Separate assessment applies individual basic allowances. We model both each year and elect the better option.
Yes. MPF Tax Deductible Voluntary Contributions (TVC) are deductible up to HKD 60,000 per year (shared with QDAP premiums). These are made into a separate TVC account within your existing MPF scheme and locked up until retirement (age 65). It is a long-term saving, but the immediate tax saving makes it compelling for higher earners.
The closest HK equivalent is the Tax Deductible Voluntary Contribution (TVC) account within MPF. Like a pension, contributions are tax-deductible going in, growth is tax-free, and withdrawals at retirement are tax-free. The contribution cap is HKD 60,000/year (shared with QDAP). There is no HK equivalent of the ISA's flexible, general-purpose tax-free savings wrapper.
At incomes above HKD 400,000/year, you are likely paying salaries tax at 15% or near the top progressive rate (also 15%). At this level, every HKD 1 of legitimate deduction saves HKD 0.15 in tax. With HKD 60,000 in QDAP/TVC alone, that is HKD 9,000 annually. Below HKD 200,000, the personal allowance already shelters much of your income, but allowance optimisation and self-education deductions can still deliver meaningful savings.
