No, Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy (QDAP) is the only annuity product eligible for a tax deduction. Hang Seng provides a variety of QDAPs, such as eIncomePro Deferred Annuity Plan (100% Guaranteed), where you can apply online to enjoy stable guaranteed annuity income and life protection with tax deduction benefits.

Early surrender or termination of an annuity policy usually incurs a financial penalty, so policyholders will most likely suffer from financial loss in case of early surrender, especially during the early years of the policy period. Please check with your insurer about any applicable fees or charges before replacing your existing policy. In case of doubt, please seek professional advice[20].

Taxpayers must meet all the eligibility requirements for QDAP tax deductions set out in the Inland Revenue Ordinance and any guidance issued by the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) to claim this tax deduction. If the taxpayer’s spouse has no income chargeable to tax, the couple is not eligible to elect joint assessment or elect personal assessment jointly. Therefore, the maximum amount of deduction allowable for the taxpayer is the individual limit of HKD60,000. Please visit the IRD website for more information. If you have further questions on tax deductions, please approach the IRD directly[20].

Product information

A deferred annuity product must satisfy the criteria set out in the guideline issued by the Insurance Authority to be a QDAP[20]. The criteria include:

  • A minimum total premium of HKD180,000 and minimum payment period of 5 years;
  • A minimum annuity period of 10 years;
  • Annuitisation at the age of 50 or above; and
  • Fulfilment of the following disclosure requirements:
    • A clear statement of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) in the sales brochure and in the related communication with holders;
    • A clear presentation of the guaranteed payment and variable payment, if applicable; and
    • Clear separation of the premiums of riders such as critical illness and hospitalisation cash from the premiums for the QDAP

Hong Kong taxpayer who has purchased an eligible health insurance plan (certified by the Health Bureau of Hong Kong as VHIS) can claim a tax deduction on qualifying premiums up to HKD8,000[21] per insured person each tax assessment year. The relationship between the taxpayer and the insured person must be included in the definition of “specified relatives” as set out in the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112). The deduction is available for certified plans, but not any other optional benefits, with policy eff­ective date of 1 April 2019 or later. To facilitate the tax deduction process under your Hong Kong personal income tax return filing, you’ll receive Premium payment record from Bupa by the end of April each year.

TVC is a new type contribution to be offered in a Registered Scheme upon each MPF service provider’s decision, which can only be paid into a specific TVC account of a Registered Scheme, such as the Hang Seng Master Trust. The purpose of TVC is to provide eligible members a tax concession for voluntary contributions and to assist in member’s long term saving for a better retirement.

A TVC account allows any members to make tax deductible voluntary contributions starting from 1 April 2019.

Such contributions are voluntary in nature, and are subject to the same vesting, preservation and withdrawal restrictions applicable to mandatory contributions. TVC can only be made directly by the persons who fulfil the eligibility requirement. Therefore, involvement from the employers is not required.

TVC account holders can contribute into their TVC accounts via two methods:

  1. By monthly direct debit from as little as HKD300 per month. To set up or change your monthly direct debit arrangement in your TVC account, please complete the "Set up/Change of Regular Tax Deductible Voluntary Contributions Instruction Form".
  2. By lump sum TVC of HKD1,000 or more. This method provides Members with the flexibility to contribute into their TVC account whenever they want. Lump sum TVC can be made by cheque. For TVC account holders interested in making a lump sum TVC, please complete the "Tax Deductible Voluntary Contributions Lump Sum Deposit Form".
    Please note:
    • As you are accumulating your funds for retirement purposes, you should consider your personal circumstances before deciding the TVC amount to contribute.
    • TVC will have the same vesting, preservation and withdrawal requirements applicable to mandatory contributions. This also applies to contributions that are above the maximum tax deductible amount.

The maximum tax deductible amount under Hong Kong personal income tax for a tax assessment year is HKD60,000 and it is an aggregated limit for both TVC and qualifying annuity premiums.

The individual taxpayer (not the Trustee, Sponsor and/or other operators of the Hang Seng Master Trust) has to make tax deduction claim on the TVC amount in his/her tax return. If you are in doubt of your personal tax position, please consult your own advisor.

To facilitate the tax return filing by TVC account holders, the Trustee will provide a TVC summary to each TVC account holder in the Hang Seng Master Trust around 10 May after the end of the relevant year of assessment (i.e. before the end of a period of 40 days from the beginning of the next tax assessment year commencing on 1 April).
