What we handle

Multiple areas, One Relationship

Hong Kong tax spans multiple dimensions — companies, individuals, and property. These dimensions often intersect. Each area carries its own rules, risks, and planning considerations, yet they rarely operate in isolation. Decisions in one area can have direct implications for another, making alignment essential. Effective tax management is not limited to reducing liabilities. It requires a holistic and forward‑looking approach, assessing implications across structures and over time. We handle filings, optimise positions, and represent you before the Inland Revenue Department, ensuring that all three perspectives are considered together. Our role is not only to manage compliance, but to bring clarity across structures, supporting consistent and well‑informed decision‑making within a single client relationship.

Corporate - Profits tax

Our Profits Tax service ensures that corporate entities meet key obligations to the Inland Revenue Department with accuracy and confidence. We handle profit computations based on Hong Kong tax principles, manage the filing process from return preparation to submission, and provide representation for any assessment objections or special applications. We take a proactive approach, staying abreast of IRD queries and supporting you through correspondence and resolution.

Individuals - Salaries tax

We support individuals in managing Hong Kong salaries tax obligations efficiently and compliantly. For individuals, we prepare and file salaries tax returns through eTAX or paper forms, ensuring all income and allowances are properly reported. We also handle assessment reviews and objection applications when required, ensuring you maintain a clear compliance status with the IRD. (This service is generally provided to the existing customer of Olive & Vine only.)

Tax Advisory

Our Tax Advisory service provides targeted guidance on complex tax matters, helping you navigate technical questions and optimise your tax position within regulatory boundaries. We assess offshore claims, liaise with the IRD on challenging matters, and deliver clear, pragmatic advice that balances risk management with compliance. All advisory is grounded in ethical standards and regulatory expectations, ensuring that strategic tax planning strengthens rather than undermines your long‑term business position.

Employer's Return

Employer’s Return obligations, including IR56 reporting, are closely linked to salaries tax and require careful coordination with payroll and HR processes. We support the preparation and filing process as part of our integrated services, working closely with HR functions where relevant. For full details on employer reporting and HR-related workflows, please refer to our HR Services page.

Olive & Vine is committed to providing tax services that are compliant with applicable laws and professional standards. We do not engage in or advise on any arrangements that compromise regulatory integrity, ethical standards or long‑term compliance. We believe this approach serves the best interests of our clients, supporting sustainable outcomes and long‑term certainty.
