Just copy and paste from another website:
Hong Kong tax rates are so low.
The salaries tax rate is the lower of either:
* 15% of "assessable income" after the deduction of allowances; or
* A progressive rate levied on "assessable income" after the deduction of allowances. For the 2009/10 tax year onwards, these progressive rates are:
o Nil to HKD40,000 - 2%
o HKD40,000 to HKD80,000 – 7%
o HKD80,000 to HKD120,000 – 12%
o HKD120,000 upwards – 17%
Allowances and Deductions
For the 2009/10 year of assessment, the following allowances are deductible from assessable income for salaries tax purposes:
* Charitable contributions representing up to 35% of an individual's income after allowable expenses and depreciation allowances or assessable profits.
* A residential care allowance in respect of a parent or grandparent of up to HKD60,000 per annum.
* Home loan interest deductions from 2003/4 of up to HKD100,000 in any one year of assessment.
* A current pension allowance of up to HKD12,000 for each year of assessment, not including contributions made by a self-employed person in respect of his employees.
* Depreciation allowances on all plant and machinery essential to the production of income subject to salaries tax.
