Hi 差佬,

想請教你一個問題 : 既然你是中港兩邊飛果隻, 你究竟有冇稅務優惠. 換句話來說, 會唔會有部份薪金係唔洗報稅�� ? 我相信有 D兄弟都想知道 ...

I hope I can help on this case. You can actually arrange some part of your salary as allowance, e.g. housing, travelling. Then, seperate your balance of salary into 2 parts, one part for your duties in PRC and the other for the duties in HK. Reporting the PRC part for PRC tax and HK part for HK tax. In doing this, you can enjoy the personal allowances in both area, thus, it means that you can save some tax. Of course, you need to calculate at a point that is reasonable and will benefit the most. Further, you need to arrange a contract with your employer that showing the breakdown.

On a monthly report and payment bases. You can report by your ownself or ask the PRC company to report for you.

It is also the case now if the salary is paid directly by the PRC company. The PRC company will deduct the tax (calculating on actual bases, most of the PRC company will help to arrange some portion to the  deductable income such as housing / meal allowances) from the monthly payment first and then report to the PRC IRD on a monthly bases. My comments on the previous message is making an assumption that the salary is paid by HK company in full for the HK people working in PRC.

No time to 新都 during these period, thus, no comment for time being. Also, to comment 新都, I think chinese is more attractive, but, I don't know the typing of chinese and I don't have the hand writting board in office. Therefore, I usually read you and other brothers' comment instead.

no problem

Hi 差佬,

Try to ask your employer to seperate into 2 parts so as to get the benefit on tax allowance. You can get further RMB4,000 per month for the PRC portion.

例如 : 你原本30000一個月, 分開報HK 20,000   大陸 10000

大陸 你只需按 6000 黎報就得, 但6000 交稅都唔小

Base on this portion, you still have $12,900 saving per year.
First, assume you are single and can enjoy only the personal allowance and P.Fund deduction for HK.
If you report all 30k in HK tax, you need to pay $36,620.
If you report 20K for HK and 10k for PRC, then, your PRC portion will be RMB 855 per month, thus, RMB 9,900 per year. After that, the portion for HK with the balancing $20k will be $13,820 per year. The saving will then be $36,620 - 9,900 - 13,820 = $12,900. So, you should have benefit on it. Of course, you need to assign carefully the portion allocated to each part.

HOUSING 果D 係香港都要報, 冇得走架

For Housing, even reported in HK, it is only 10% on your total income but not the full amount. Still justify to do if it is not higher than the full amount.

No. Use the example of 30k per month. If Housing is $10k, then, you should report tax for $20k x 12 + (20k x 12) x 10% = $264,000. Without housing, it will be $30k x 12 = $360,000.

It should be at a reasonable and logical amount. I think 20 - 30% of the monthly salary sounds o.k. Further, if your monthly salary is high, it may not be justified to have such arrangement.

If purely for HK, you need to really take the rental slips for claim. But no need to pass to IRD until they ask for. However, for your case, seems that you are travelling to China. It should be another story. If you need to stay in PRC, actually your company should have already not count it as your salary but serving as some expenses.

原來呢個網站叫做"內地營商交流區" http://www.voy.com/181859/

其中有個有趣而又可行的辦法, 試轉貼出來, 大家比比意見 :

問: 我是香港人,在日後本人要往大陸工作,星期天休息,每天都返 ...

According to the info. from my colleagues in China, there will be no half day counting now. It will be count at a full day even you are travelling on a daily bases.
