The Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has launched the new versions and enhanced features of electronic filing of profits tax return services on 1 April 2025.

The IRD Taxonomy Package and IRD iXBRL Data Preparation Tools enables all corporations and businesses to e-file their profits tax returns for the years of assessment 2022/23 to 2024/25 together with supporting documents through eTAX on a voluntary basis.

Taxpayers are encouraged to participate in voluntary e-filing of profits tax returns. More details can be found on the IRD’s dedicated web pages at www.ird.gov.hk/e_epf and www.ird.gov.hk/e_ixbrl respectively.

Additionally, the IRD has revised its Tax Representatives’ Corner webpage with updates for the 2024/25 profits tax returns. The page now includes details on recent changes, filing guidelines, block extension arrangements, required forms, and other essential information.
