For more information, please visit www.ird.gov.hk This link will open in a new window or seek independent tax advice.

- Each taxpayer is allowed to claim a tax deduction for his or her qualifying deferred annuity premiums up to a maximum limit of HKD60,000 per assessment year, which is an aggregate of qualifying deferred annuity premiums and Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) tax-deductible voluntary contributions. In addition, each taxpayer who or whose spouse is the policyholder of a policy issued under a certified plan of Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) may claim tax deductions for the premiums paid up to HKD8,000 per insured person per assessment year.
