this might be a fairly elementary question, but for someone who holds a U.S passport, has a HK ID (through marriage), how does the income tax work when they get a job?
I know (or have heard rather) that the ones who get transferred to HK, a lot of employers will consider the employees' tax back in their home country, and their salary package will be adjusted accordingly to reflect that.
For someone who is an American, but doesn't need employer sponsorship, do you ask for that in the salary package? This is not an executive post, but a low level management position under 30HKD.
My initial hunch is no. If that is true, the more important question is, how much will I lose out of my paycheck paying taxes both ways? Are there any ways to be exempt from one or the other?
