When the HK$380 Service Is Suitable

It does not include: formal replies to the IRD, document submission, audit arrangement, formal tax representative services, legal advice or any guarantee of outcome.

FAQ

Does HK$380 include company tax filing or audit arrangement?›

No. HK$380 is for an initial human review and direction summary of one IRD letter. It does not include company tax return filing, bookkeeping catch-up work, audit arrangement, formal replies to the IRD or document submission.

Can I submit the letter if the company's accounts are messy?›

Yes. BM can first summarise the actual requirements, risk areas and information gaps based on the letter you submit. If follow-up work is needed for accounts, tax filing or other matters, BM will confirm the service scope and fee separately.

If the letter appears urgent, is the review service enough?›

The review service only includes an initial human review and handling direction summary for one IRD letter. If the case involves overdue matters, penalties, estimated assessment, objection or other urgent follow-up work, BM will indicate this in the summary and may confirm the follow-up service scope and fee separately.
