Product Description
This is a professional book on the Hong Kong tax system. It explains in detail the taxes under the Inland Revenue Ordinance--Property Tax, Salaries Tax and Profits Tax. Two chapters covering Stamp Duty and Estate Duty are also included to make the book a more comprehensive source of information for readers. Written in a professional and user-friendly style, the book is amply illustrated with practical examples and is cross-referred to relevant tax cases as well as relevant sections of the Inland Revenue Ordinance, Stamp Duty Ordinance and Estate Duty Ordinance. For the convenience of readers, the text is abundantly supplemented with detailed indices of tax cases and statutes. Practice notes not available on the Inland Revenue Department's web site, together with certain other particularly important practice notes, are also reproduced in the book for readers' easy reference. The 2002-03 edition fully deals with all changes up to July 2002. All of the year's court decisions and the more important Board of Review decisions are discussed in appropriate places in the text.

 Comprehensive, clear and pleasurable book on a complex topic July 6, 1999
This is by far the best book on Hong Kong taxation I have ever come across. It is presented in a clear and readable format suitable for study and as a professional reference. As a tax professional, and having followed this book since 1994-95 to the present 1998-99, I have found Hong Kong Taxation: Law and Practice to be much like a fine wine, improves with age. The revised chapters now have unsurpassed clarity in explaining the complex issues such as source of profits and the effects of changing legislation and case law on Hong Kong Taxation. David Smith, the current bearer of the torch, has applied his clever writing style to the book and annually updated the book to include the latest changes in case law and legislation as well as recently adding two new chapters on Stamp Duty and Estate Duty to make this a comprehensive reference on all Hong Kong tax ideal for both the tax professional and student. What keeps me coming back to Hong Kong Taxation: Law and Practice year after year is that it is updated annually, Smith and to a lesser extent now, Flux, have a clear writing style aimed at the tax professional (cases are described in just enough detail for the reader to understand, but not so much that the point is lost - emphasis on quality not quantity), changes from year to year are clearly highlighted, and new concepts/changes in legislation are explained clearly and with detailed examples. Lastly, what makes this book very credible is David Smith is an active and prominent member of the Hong Kong tax community respected by his peers and colleagues for his keen insights into all aspects of tax. Hong Kong Taxation: Law and Practice and the Davids actually make tax a pleasurable read!

 A reliable reference on the subject of Hong Kong taxation. October 4, 1997

The best part is that this book is updated by KPMG Peat Marwick annually to incorporate the latest changes in Hong Kong legislation, even after Mr. Flux's retirement. It is a useful guide for novices as well as professionals. I have been using it as a reference manual for 12 years.
