Remote Work Tax Specialist

Confused about whether your remote income is taxable in HK? Our CPAs clarify the source-of-income test, advise on deductible WFH expenses, and handle your salaries tax return — whether your employer is local or overseas.

⚠️

⚠ Common Misconception: Remote ≠ Tax-Free

Many remote workers assume working for an overseas company means zero HK tax. Wrong. If your services are physically performed in Hong Kong, the income is HK-sourced and fully taxable under salaries tax — regardless of where your employer is based.

주요 고민

다음과 같은 세무 문제로 어려움을 겪고 계신가요?

Source of Income Confusion

Is your overseas-employer salary HK-sourced? The answer depends on WHERE you perform your work, not where your employer sits.

⚠ Risk: Wrong classification → underpaid tax + penalties

WFH Expense Deductions

Home office costs, internet, equipment — what can you legitimately deduct from your assessable income under the IRO?

⚠ Risk: Missing deductions → overpaying tax

Business Travel Splits

Working partly in HK, partly overseas? The day-count apportionment under s.8(1A)(b) can significantly reduce your tax bill.

⚠ Risk: No apportionment claim → 100% taxed in HK

Employer Reporting Obligations

Your overseas employer may still need to file IR56B/IR56E with IRD if you are tax-resident in HK.

⚠ Risk: Non-compliance → IRD enquiry and back-tax demand

궁금증에 대한 빠른 답변

Yes. Because your services are physically performed in Hong Kong, your salary is HK-sourced under s.8(1)(a) of the IRO. The fact your employer is American is irrelevant. You will be subject to HK salaries tax at progressive rates or the standard rate of 15%, whichever is lower.
Partially. Under s.12(1)(a) IRO, expenses must be "wholly, exclusively and necessarily" incurred in earning your income. A proportion of internet costs and equipment depreciation may qualify; pure residential rental costs generally do not. We help identify the legitimate deductible portion.
Yes. Under s.8(1A)(b), income attributable to services rendered outside HK is exempt. We calculate a day-count apportionment to exclude your Singapore-working days from HK assessable income, which can produce significant savings.
It can be. Overseas employers with HK-resident employees may need to file employer returns (IR56B) with the IRD, and you remain personally responsible for your own salaries tax. We advise both employees and employers on their respective obligations.
File as soon as possible. Voluntary disclosure typically results in much lighter penalties than IRD-initiated enforcement. We handle back-year returns and negotiate penalty reductions where applicable.
