Annuity & QDAP Tax Specialist

The Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy (QDAP) deduction of up to HKD 60,000 per year is one of HK's most powerful individual tax reliefs — yet it is vastly underutilised. Our CPAs help you select qualifying products, maximise the deduction, and plan how annuity income is treated in retirement.

⚠️

⚠ Not All Annuity Products Qualify for the QDAP Tax Deduction

The tax deduction only applies to QDAP products that have received approval from the Insurance Authority. Many annuity products sold in HK are NOT QDAPs and therefore do not qualify for the deduction. Always verify IA approval before purchasing with the intention of claiming a tax deduction. The QDAP deduction and MPF Tax Deductible Voluntary Contribution (TVC) share a combined cap of HKD 60,000.

常见困扰

您是否正面临以下税务问题？

Product Eligibility Confusion

Only Insurance Authority-approved QDAPs qualify. Purchasing an unapproved annuity product in the belief it qualifies is a costly mistake.

⚠ Risk: Purchasing a non-QDAP annuity → zero tax deduction on premiums paid

QDAP vs TVC Allocation

The HKD 60,000 cap is shared between QDAP premiums and MPF Tax Deductible Voluntary Contributions. Splitting optimally between the two requires analysis of product returns and flexibility.

⚠ Risk: Suboptimal allocation → lower return or lower flexibility than possible

Surrender Charge Trap

QDAP products have surrender charges if you withdraw early. Some taxpayers claim the deduction for a year then surrender the policy — triggering clawback provisions.

⚠ Risk: Early surrender → deduction clawed back + surrender penalty

Annuity Income in Retirement

QDAP annuity payments received in retirement may be partially taxable depending on the nature of the payment. Planning this correctly minimises tax in retirement.

⚠ Risk: Unexpected tax on annuity income in retirement → cash flow shortfall

常见问题

快速解答您的疑问

A Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy (QDAP) is an annuity product approved by the Insurance Authority of Hong Kong that meets specific requirements: the policyholder must be aged 60+ before receiving annuity payments; premiums must be paid for at least 5 years; and the annuity payout period must be at least 10 years. Only products meeting these criteria and holding IA approval qualify for the HK tax deduction.
At the 15% standard salaries tax rate, maximising the HKD 60,000 deduction saves HKD 9,000 in tax per year. Over 20 years of contributing, that is HKD 180,000 in cumulative tax savings — before considering the after-tax investment return on the deduction amount itself. For married couples, if both hold QDAPs, the combined saving is HKD 18,000/year.
Yes. The HKD 60,000 QDAP + TVC cap applies per individual taxpayer. If you and your spouse each hold separate QDAP policies and/or make TVC contributions, you can each claim up to HKD 60,000, potentially saving up to HKD 18,000/year combined at the 15% rate.
The combined QDAP + TVC cap is HKD 60,000. With HKD 30,000 already going to TVC, you have HKD 30,000 of remaining QDAP deduction capacity. We recommend structuring your QDAP premiums to exactly fill this remaining capacity, maximising the combined deduction without exceeding the cap.
This depends on the structure of the payments. Annuity payments from a QDAP that represent a return of your own capital (i.e., non-profit element) are generally not taxable as income. The profit/interest element of annuity payments may be assessable to tax. In practice, for most QDAP holders at retirement age with lower overall income, personal allowances often shelter any taxable annuity element entirely.
