Although Hong Kong is known as one of the most tax-friendly economies in the world, its tax regime and regulations nevertheless has its share of intricacies and special attributes. To give an example, the application of the source of profit concept (i.e. whether the profit in question was “arising in or derived from Hong Kong”) to decide whether profit tax is chargeable on a local or foreign party can be a complicate and tricky issue when applied to an international business undertaking in which subsidiaries or local offices located in different parts of the world have all contributed to the making of the relevant profit. Every year a considerable number of cases came before the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, the Board of Review and the Court of Appeal respectively for tax appeals. Over the years since its commencement of practice in 1990, our firm has acquired considerable experience dealing with tax appeals and advising on the tax regime in Hong Kong.

In a busy and traffic congested city like Hong Kong accidents are bound to occur. Injuries and death occurring as a result of accidents caused by negligence or reckless conduct may in turn give rise to claim for damages. As the time limit for bringing legal action in case of a personal injury claim is only three years from the date of the accident (as opposed to the usual six years limit generally applicable to most other civil claims), it is important to seek legal and medical advice as soon as practicable after an accident causing injury or even, death. Another reason for taking prompt action is the need to gather the evidence in support of the claim. With each passing day the chance of getting reliable evidence will diminish. Our firm provides comprehensive services to our clients involved accident claim cases either as the victim or the paying party. We will be glad to assist in providing legal opinion on the merits of potential claims and different aspects of a damage claim arising from an accident, for instance, in the assessment of damage for “PSLA”, namely, compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenities.
