​Field audit and investigation by the Inland Revenue Department

The Field Audit and Investigation Division of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department is responsible for field audits and investigations, and is committed to combating tax evasion and tax avoidance. If an under-reporting of profits/income is found after review or investigation, the tax bureau will levy back taxes and fines from the taxpayer. The investigation time limit given by the Inland Revenue Department is very short. The longer the time, the higher the fine will be. If you receive a notification from the Inland Revenue Department tax investigation, please contact us as soon as possible.
