Capital Allowances Optimisation
Capital expenditure on plant, machinery, and buildings qualifies for depreciation allowances that reduce profits tax. Proper classification and timing of claims can significantly accelerate tax relief on major investments.
⚠ Many Capital Items Are Wrongly Treated as Revenue
Classifying capital expenditure as revenue expenses (and vice versa) is one of the most common tax errors in HK. Capital items get slower depreciation but specific allowances; revenue items are fully deductible immediately. The distinction matters enormously to your tax timing.
您是否正面临以下税务问题？
Plant & Machinery Classification
What qualifies as "plant and machinery" under Part 6 IRO is broader than most people think — including IT systems, fit-out, specialist equipment, and fixtures.
Building vs Fit-Out Split
For commercial property fit-outs, separating "building" (4% annual) from "plant and machinery" (60% initial + annual allowances) can dramatically accelerate tax relief.
Timing of Disposal (Balancing Charges)
Selling or disposing of plant before it is fully written down triggers a balancing charge — taxable in the year of disposal. Timing disposals to coincide with losses can eliminate the charge.
Green Assets & IBA
Industrial Building Allowance (IBA) applies to industrial buildings and structures used for manufacturing. Many HK companies with factories do not claim IBA at all.
适合对象
Companies with significant plant, machinery, and industrial building capital expenditure.
Companies with major fit-out investments in shops, restaurants, and hotels.
Businesses with significant IT infrastructure, server farms, and hardware investment.
Landlords and tenants undertaking significant commercial fit-outs.
