    The tax relief has a cap on it at $25,000. Yes, if you have overpaid tax then it will be returned to you when you leave. The forthcoming budget is irrelevant if you leave before 31 March since it relates solely to the tax year 2009/10 onwards.

    The rules on taxpayers leaving Hong Kong are here: Taxpayer who is about to leave Hong Kong
