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.
您是否正面临以下税务问题？
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.
WFH Expense Deductions
Home office costs, internet, equipment — what can you legitimately deduct from your assessable income under the IRO?
Business Travel Splits
Working partly in HK, partly overseas? The day-count apportionment under s.8(1A)(b) can significantly reduce your tax bill.
Employer Reporting Obligations
Your overseas employer may still need to file IR56B/IR56E with IRD if you are tax-resident in HK.
适合对象
Employed by a US, UK, Singapore or mainland China company while physically based in HK.
Split time between HK office and home or overseas locations throughout the tax year.
