Accurate, compliant, and optimised tax management
CityLinkers provides specialised services for Profits Tax filing and strategic advisory, helping businesses in Hong Kong navigate their tax obligations with precision and confidence. Our team ensures that all submissions meet the requirements of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) while identifying opportunities to minimise tax liabilities through lawful and effective planning.
BIR51 preparation and submission
We assist in the accurate preparation and timely submission of the annual Profits Tax Return (Form BIR51), ensuring full compliance with Hong Kong IRD regulations. This includes compiling the necessary financial statements, tax schedules, and supporting documents required for audit and regulatory review.
Tax computation and optimisation
Our advisors perform detailed tax computations to determine your company’s assessable profits. We then apply all eligible exemptions, deductions, depreciation allowances, and tax incentives to ensure your business pays no more than its fair share. By leveraging our in-depth understanding of local tax laws and regulatory updates, we help optimise your tax position while maintaining full legal compliance.
Accurate filing and strategic compensation planning
CityLinkers offers comprehensive support for employer tax obligations, ensuring that payroll-related filings and compensation strategies are fully compliant with Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue Department (IRD) requirements. Our services are designed to reduce administrative burden while enhancing tax efficiency for both employers and employees.
BIR56A & IR56B preparation and submission
We assist in the preparation and timely filing of Employer’s Return forms, including BIR56A and accompanying IR56B forms for each employee. Our team ensures all relevant payroll information—such as salaries, bonuses, allowances, and benefits—is reported accurately, helping you meet statutory deadlines and avoid penalties for non-compliance.
Compensation structure advisory
Beyond compliance, we provide strategic advice on designing tax-efficient compensation packages. This includes structuring salaries, bonuses, housing allowances, stock options, and other benefits in ways that optimise tax outcomes while remaining attractive to employees. Our approach balances regulatory requirements with business goals, supporting both talent retention and cost management.
Proactive representation and risk mitigation in dealings with the IRD
CityLinkers provides expert support in managing all interactions with the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD), ensuring that your business is professionally represented and well-prepared throughout any inquiry or audit process. Our goal is to minimise disruption, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance at every stage.

Our team prepares all required documentation, manages communications with tax authorities, and advises on how to address complex or sensitive issues effectively. Whether the matter involves discrepancies, assessments, or tax disputes, we advocate for your interests while maintaining transparency and accuracy.
Audit preparedness
CityLinkers supports your audit readiness by compiling and organising relevant documentation, reviewing accounting records, and conducting internal pre-audit checks. We work to ensure that your financial reporting and tax filings are robust and defensible, thereby reducing the likelihood of penalties, interest charges, or extended audits.

Each plan is tailored to your corporate structure, industry, and growth objectives, ensuring compliance while enhancing tax efficiency.
Restructuring and M&A tax analysis
CityLinkers offers in-depth tax advisory for corporate restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs.

Data-driven planning
Our approach combines deep technical expertise with advanced financial modelling to evaluate the impact of different tax strategies on your company’s cash flow, profitability, and overall financial health. This enables informed decision-making based on real-time data and projected outcomes, ensuring your tax planning directly supports business performance and shareholder value.
Expert guidance through IRD audits, disputes, and resolution processes

Our objective is to protect your interests, minimise financial exposure, and achieve fair, timely outcomes.
Investigation response
We represent businesses during IRD audits and tax investigations, offering expert guidance on how to respond to information requests, reconcile discrepancies, and clarify positions taken in previous filings.

When disagreements arise with IRD assessments or decisions, CityLinkers manages the full appeal process, including the preparation and submission of objection letters, representation in formal hearings, and negotiation of settlements.
