Hong Kong's two-tier profits tax regime offers significant advantages — but only if your accounts are structured correctly.

⚠️

⚠ Provisional Tax Demand — You Have Only 28 Days to Act

Provisional profits tax equals approximately 75% of your prior year's final liability — and the demand can arrive before your current year accounts are prepared. If profits have fallen, you have exactly 28 days from the date of the provisional tax note to apply for a holdover under s.63 IRO. Miss this and you must pay the full amount even if actual profits are far lower.

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?

Incorrect Depreciation vs Capital Allowances

IRD-approved capital allowances (Initial Allowance 20–60%, Annual Allowance 10–30%) differ materially from accounting depreciation. Many SMEs file using P&L depreciation figures — losing substantial deductions.

⚠ Risk: HK,000–HK0,000 misstated per year

Missing Enhanced R&D Deductions (s.16B)

Under s.16B IRO, qualifying R&D expenditure is deductible at 300% for approved HK research institutions, or 200% for in-house expenditure. Most tech companies claim only 100%.

⚠ Risk: Forfeiting 100–200% additional deductions

Failing to Claim Offshore Profits Exemption

Under the territorial basis (s.14 IRO), profits from operations entirely outside HK are not taxable. Trading and holding companies frequently miss or inadequately document this claim.

⚠ Risk: Taxing profits that should be entirely exempt

No Provisional Tax Holdover Filed

When profits decline year-over-year, provisional tax based on the prior year represents a major cash flow burden. A timely s.63 holdover can defer or reduce this payment.

⚠ Risk: Premature outflow of HK0K–HK0K

HK operates a two-tier system. Incorporated entities: 8.25% on the first HK,000,000 of assessable profits, 16.5% above. Unincorporated businesses: 7.5% on the first HKM, 15% above. Only one entity in a connected group benefits from the lower first-tier rate.
Unlike salaries tax (fixed 2 May deadline), profits tax deadlines depend on your accounting year-end: 31 March year-end typically due 2 August (N code), 30 November year-end due 28 February (M code), 31 December year-end due 15 August (D code). Tax representatives can apply for bulk filing extensions.
Section 16B provides 300% deduction for payments to HKSAR-approved research institutions, 200% for in-house R&D expenditure above the base amount, and 100% for qualifying R&D expenditure up to the base amount. Qualifying activities include basic research, applied research, and experimental development conducted in HK.
Yes — under HK's territorial basis (s.14 IRO), only profits arising in or derived from HK are taxable. A successful claim requires demonstrating that profit-generating activities occur outside HK. From 2023, the updated FSIE regime captures passive income previously considered offshore.
No. Entertainment expenses are only 50% deductible under the IRO. Claiming 100% is one of the top IRD audit triggers — it flags your return for selection under the IRAS programme. Entertainment must also be wholly and exclusively incurred in the production of assessable profits.
