    HK Corporate Tax Cuts

    So, if the HK corporate tax is lowered to 10% (pure speculation at this point), what incentive would small business owners have to take a salary?

    Easier to pay yourself a minimum salary and then bonuses in the form of dividends?

    Aren't dividends given as compensation for employment taxed in the same way as a salary?

    The corporate tax cut propose at 8.25% for the first HKD2 mill. Pay a monthly dividend to yourself , so no tax on dividends.

    This is one of the reasons why many of HK's largest tycoons pay virtually no tax. (and then benefit from no inheritance tax on their estates)
