WOW just WOW, i dont know what to think of HK Employed staff of goverment and MPF organs.
But there is soo much miss information for foreigners, its a laughable at best.
My wife and me called at the same time for the oath information etc.
I went against my wife with the information i got.
20 floor IRD office to do my taxes. So i went there nothing there, intercom told me go to 30th floor. I went there, no we dont do that here go to immigration tower 2 floor. Ok i go there, once there told me no go back to 1st floor IRD building and ask there....
Then i got the 24th floor the same my wife told me, she got the right information from the get go because she is chinese and spoke in cantonese when enquiring information, i am 100% this is the reason why i spend almost 2 hours getting at the 24th floor to do my taxes.
IR56B submitted, but also needed the IR56F form and the IR56G form from the employer. which i did not have ready yet. My employer emailed me about it a hour ago so hopefully i get both those 2 forms fixed... in the meanwhile filled out 2 pair of tax forms again.... one for 2018-2019 and one for 2019 in april because my company only submitted the IR56B form till end of march........
Then i wanted to get my oath done, i was informed by the MPF hotline to go to their office in sheung wan, so i go there, they checked my MPF accounts total amount, it was correct and gave me the forms to do the oath and told me to go to harbour office next door to do the oath... i go there no one knows what the form is as they only handle passports.... so they told me go back to wan chai immigration dept and ask there at 2 floor.
I did that and you guess what... they say thats MPF we dont do that...
So in the end i have to bring my chinese wife that speaks cantonese to get it done propperly... tomorrow i hopefully get the oath signed.. then the next step is to bring the signed and chopped oath forms together with another form to each MPF company and start the claim of MPF money...
They also told me at the MPF office they do squad for you in terms of difficult MPF companys and they can potentially reject it... So far for any help from the goverment on a MPF that is mandatory by them... Now i have to struggle myself with these insurance companies and banks having my money....
This above process took me 4.5 hours total of none stop traveling back and forth and seeking for buildigns because of such bad information being provided... omg it sucks.
