Hong Kong offers a choice: progressive rates 2-17% or a standard rate (15% on first HK$5M net income, 16% above)—IRD calculates both and charges you the lower amount. At typical salary levels the progressive rates are always lower. Only Hong Kong-sourced income is taxed (territorial system)—foreign income is completely tax-free. MPF (Mandatory Provident Fund) adds 5% employee contribution (capped at HK$1,500/month = HK$18,000/year, tax-deductible). A HK$600,000 earner (~$77,000 USD) pays roughly HK$58,500 salaries tax (9.75% effective) plus HK$18,000 MPF. No capital gains tax, no VAT, no inheritance tax. Hong Kong's tax year runs April 1–March 31. Filing deadline is typically June. Use our calculator to estimate your Hong Kong tax liability.
