Questions we hear often
Can't find what you're looking for? Drop us a message and we'll reply the same business day.
Who is the auditor that signs the opinion? Are they HK-licensed?
The audit opinion is signed by a Hong Kong-licensed CPA firm that Captime engages on your behalf. We handle the audit file, work through the queries, and manage the engagement end-to-end — you deal only with us. The auditor's fee is bundled into the plan price shown.
What if my turnover is close to a band boundary?
We look at your most recent audited turnover (or, for new companies, the first 12 months of trading). If your revenue sits close to a line, we'll quote both bands so you can see the difference before committing.
How long does a Hong Kong audit typically take?
Most SME audits in Hong Kong run 4–8 weeks from the time your books are ready. We start early, so even Audit Easy clients on tight deadlines usually have plenty of buffer before the IRD's filing deadline.
My company is dormant — do I still have to file?
Yes. A Hong Kong company is required to file a Profits Tax Return whenever one is issued by the IRD, regardless of whether it has been trading. Our Dormant Filing plan handles the nil return and the annual paperwork at a much lower cost than a full audit.
Can I claim offshore tax exemption for profits earned outside Hong Kong?
If your profits genuinely have their source outside Hong Kong, you may be able to apply for offshore tax exemption. The claim sits inside our Audit Pro plan because it requires proper documentation, a written submission to the IRD, and follow-up on any queries — we walk you through what's realistic for your business.
What if my bookkeeping isn't finished yet?
We can still onboard you. If bookkeeping is behind, we'll quote it separately and get your books audit-ready first. Many of our founders take both our Bookkeeping & Payroll plan and this Audit & Tax plan, which makes the year-end much smoother.
Do you also file the Employer's Return (IR56B)?
Yes. Employer's Return filings (IR56B/E/F/G) are included in all three plans — even Dormant Filing, for companies that previously had employees or have to file a nil return.
Will you liaise with my overseas tax adviser?
Absolutely. If you have a tax adviser in your home country who needs a copy of the audited statements or the Profits Tax Return, we can send them over directly and join a call if needed.
