Hong Kong Chief Executive's 2017 Policy Address' Focus on Tax Breaks

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, delivered her maiden Policy Address yesterday, addressing a range of issues felt across the region. A leading area within the Address was the proposals surrounding the two tax measures included in her Election Manifesto, with focus on:

▪
Preserving low tax rates, with reductions to be implemented in 2018
▪
Executing a two-tier profits tax system where the profits tax rate for the first HK$2 million of profits of enterprises will be lowered to 8.25%, whilst the standard tax rate of 16.5% will remain for profits above that amount
▪
Encouraging enterprises to invest in R&D through the introduction of a 300% tax deduction on the first HK$2million eligible R&D expenditure, with the remainder subject to 200%

Dependent on the passing of the legislation at the Legislative Council, it is anticipated that these proposals will be implemented within 2018.
