Tax on student intern in Hong Kong

[Rainbow_Warrior]

hi all, I'm an undergrad student coming to do my internship in the city univ. of hong kong for about 10 weeks. (3rd may to 8th july)
i am being paid 7655 hk$/month. i will be paying ~2000 hk$ for living in a rented flat. i need to know how much tax i am liable to pay. i tried the tax calculator on the website but couldn't understand what deductions apply to me etc.
I'm on a a tight budget so i need to be really sure how much money i will have to pay on tax or i might end up paying from my own pocket. please, if anyone has any info, help me out. thanks in advance.

0 (Zero). HK tax system has a basic allowance of 100K HKD per year, and from the information you've provided, it doesn't seem that you would exceed that.

I know this thread is really old but I have just joined and I am not sure to start a new one yet. Basically my problem is the that I am a 2nd year student at the University of Birmingham and I really need an internship next summer in HK so I can be with my bf. I use to work and live in HK for a year on my gap year and came back this summer to teach again taking 4 jobs however my degree is in Business Management and I am really keen to put it all into practice however I am unsure how to go about obtaining a Marketing/HRM/Finance internship anyone have any ideas? I could take the easier route and try to get one in UK but I would much much prefer HK!
Thanks
Katharine
