LCQ14: Monthly profits tax collections for the
past three financial years
*********************************************************************************
Following is a question by the Hon Sin Chung-kai and a written reply
by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Professor
K C Chan, in the Legislative Council today (October 31):
Question:
Will the Government inform this Council
of the profits tax income received in each month of the past three
tax years?
Reply:
Madam President,
The Inland Revenue Department sets
the due date for profits tax payment for a company according to
its accounting date. The majority of profits tax payments are due
between November and January, and some provisional payments are
due in April. Therefore, profits tax payments are mainly received
in April and from October to March each financial year.
The following table shows the monthly
profits tax collections for the past three financial years -
