VAT / Sales TaxHKD
Hong Kong does not impose a VAT, GST, or general sales tax. This is a key feature of Hong Kong's simple and low-tax system and a major factor in its attractiveness as an international business center. There have been periodic proposals to introduce a GST, but these have consistently been rejected. The government relies primarily on profits tax, salaries tax, stamp duties, land revenues, and investment returns for fiscal revenue.
