⚠ Provisional Tax Demand — You Have Only 28 Days to Act
Provisional profits tax equals approximately 75% of your prior year's final liability — and the demand can arrive before your current year accounts are prepared. If profits have fallen, you have exactly 28 days from the date of the provisional tax note to apply for a holdover under s.63 IRO. Miss this and you must pay the full amount even if actual profits are far lower.
您是否正面對以下稅務問題？
Incorrect Depreciation vs Capital Allowances
IRD-approved capital allowances (Initial Allowance 20–60%, Annual Allowance 10–30%) differ materially from accounting depreciation. Many SMEs file using P&L depreciation figures — losing substantial deductions.
Missing Enhanced R&D Deductions (s.16B)
Under s.16B IRO, qualifying R&D expenditure is deductible at 300% for approved HK research institutions, or 200% for in-house expenditure. Most tech companies claim only 100%.
Failing to Claim Offshore Profits Exemption
Under the territorial basis (s.14 IRO), profits from operations entirely outside HK are not taxable. Trading and holding companies frequently miss or inadequately document this claim.
No Provisional Tax Holdover Filed
When profits decline year-over-year, provisional tax based on the prior year represents a major cash flow burden. A timely s.63 holdover can defer or reduce this payment.
適合對象
Complex supply chains create offshore profit claims. We structure documentation to support robust offshore exemption positions and handle all IRD queries.
R&D enhanced deductions under s.16B, IP amortisation, and software capitalisation require specialist knowledge to maximise.
Entertainment deduction limits, staff meals, renovation capitalisation vs expensing, and tips/service charges all require careful treatment.
The unified funds exemption, carried interest tax concession, and updated FSIE regime for passive income require dedicated specialist advice.
Sole proprietors and partnerships benefit from careful timing of income recognition, TVC contributions, and remuneration structuring.
