Hong Kong is charging tax on a territorial and source basis.
There are three types of tax primarily levied in Hong Kong, viz. profits tax, salaries tax and property tax. Relative to other countries and regions, Hong Kong’s tax system and tax burden is relatively simple and low.
Even so, many taxpayers continue to experience complicated problems in dealing with tax matters. If they are not handled properly, taxpayers may not only suffer from the loss of time and money, they may also be exposed to criminal liabilities under certain circumstances.
