Accounting & Audit

Limited companies in Hong Kong receive Profits Tax Return issued by the Inland Revenue Department every year, and they are obliged to submit an audit report and tax return audited by a Hong Kong Certified Practising Accountant to the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department within a time limit. If the tax return shows that the limited company is profitable, the Inland Revenue Department will issue a tax notice to the limited company to pay the relevant taxes. If a company fills in wrong information on the tax form or omits individual items, or submits the tax return late, it may violate the tax regulations, and the company may be prosecuted and fined by the Inland Revenue Department.
