I was asked to pay two installments of tax in Jan. The first installment (the majority of tax due) was due on Mar 2 and the second Apr 29.
Unfortunately, I forgot to pay the first installment on time. I paid online on March 6 o 7, and paid both installments at that time.
So it was in default and according to the note under the installments in that tax payment letter, I will imposed a surcharge of 5% of the amount in default.
But I have not yet received any letter asking to payment the default surcharge.
So do I still need to pay the surcharge? If so, is it possible for me to avoid the payment? And what should I do?
Anyway, this was my first time to pay tax in HK.
