Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue Department (IRD) issued the Circular Letter To Tax Representatives Block Extension Scheme For Lodgement of 2023/24 Tax Returns on 4 November 2024, extending the due date for ‘M’ code tax filing returns.

Recognising the genuine difficulties being experienced by businesses and practitioners in their operations, the Inland Revenue Department has decided to extend the due date for filing 2023/24 Profits Tax returns with Accounting Date Code ‘M’ (i.e., accounting date falling within 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024) from 15 November 2024 to 29 November 2024.

Despite this extension, tax representatives are encouraged to file as many returns as possible well before the extended due date.

Earlier, on 25 July 2024, IRD released a Circular Letter to Tax Representatives on the Block Extension Scheme for Lodgement of 2023/24 Tax Returns on 25 July 2024, extending the due date for filing 2023/24 Profits Tax returns with Accounting Date Code ‘D’ from 15 August 2024 to 29 August 2024.
