Calculators and compliance checkers
Fifteen tools for the arithmetic and the lookups that come up when you run a Hong Kong company. Every rate, fee and threshold is the published one, and each result names the source it used so you can check it.
None of them ask who you are, and none of them file anything. Where an answer genuinely depends on a date the Inland Revenue sets each year, the tool says so and links to the notice rather than printing a figure it cannot stand behind.
Calculators
Each one applies the published rate and names it. Where a figure depends on something we cannot know - your accounting date, whether the Commissioner has granted an extension - it says so instead of assuming.
