With a 60000HKD salary a month what taxes can I expect to pay yearly as single person with no family?

Hi Oliver,

You will be taxed 2 percent on the 1st 40,000 and then 7 percent on the next 20,000. This will add up around 2,200 per month. 

Where are you from? You should investigate whether there is a double taxation agreement that is in place between your home country and Hong Kong.

For more information read the Banking, Money and Taxes in Hong Kong page.

Correct - you pay annually by doing a personal tax return. No PAYE so you have to get in to the habit of saving up your tax money as you go through the year. Otherwise you can have a nasty surprise when you get the bill.
