New "Tax Guide For Charitable Institutions and Trusts of a Public Character" - What you need to know

Michelle Chow, Consultant at Withers, a lawyer with extensive experience on charity law and charity operations will discuss the new tax guide for charities.

The IRD published a new 28 pages guide in late April 2020, which is an updated version of the September 2019 version. What do you need to know from this new guide?

  • what the IRD does NOT do – no advice on setting up or running of charities
  • what constitutes public benefit?
  • tax exemption – what must be noted: the proviso to section 88 Inland Revenue Ordinance
  • Charities need to pay tax? What is NOT exempted from tax – trade or business
  • Financial investment - is it allowed? Are income, gains or profits exempted from profit tax liability? How about property letting?
  • Charity Periodic Review – what's new?


The guide can be found here: https://www.ird.gov.hk/eng/pdf/tax_guide_for_charities.pdf

Please bring your own copy.

This is a bring-your-own-lunch meeting.  This event is free to attend but, as places are limited, please register with Janet Yee beforehand.
