⚠ Partnership Losses Cannot Simply Be Offset Against Personal Income
Many partners assume partnership losses reduce their personal income tax. In HK, partnership losses can only be offset against the partner's other partnership profits from the same firm — not salary or other income. This is a common and costly misconception.
您是否正面临以下税务问题？
Separate Partnership Return
IRD requires a profits tax return for the partnership itself (BIR51) even though tax is paid by partners individually. Two-level compliance is required.
Profit Allocation Disputes
Profit-sharing ratios must be consistent with the partnership deed. Retrospective changes to reduce tax are challenged under s.61A anti-avoidance.
Salaried Partners
A "salaried partner" may actually be an employee for tax purposes. If IRD reclassifies, salaries tax and MPF apply — with back-payments due.
LPF Carried Interest Taxation
Under the LPF regime (from 2020), carried interest received by qualifying fund managers can be taxed at a concessionary rate of 0% for certain offshore funds.
适合对象
Accounting, legal, and medical partnerships with multiple partners.
PE funds structured as HK Limited Partnership Funds under the LPF Ordinance.
