FAQs
1. We have reported our new business address in the box provided in form BIR56A. Is it necessary for us to notify the Business Registration Office of our new business address as well?
If you have provided a new business address in form BIR56A, there is no need to file a separate notice with the Business Registration Office.
However, you should notify the Business Registration Office of any subsequent changes of address in accordance with the Business Registration Ordinance.
2. We are a holding company. Should we include employees of our subsidiaries in our Employer’s Return?
No. The obligation to file employer’s returns (form IR56Bs) rests with the employer shown in the respective employment contract. You and your subsidiaries should file separate employer’s returns.
3. Is it necessary to report the income paid to shareholders/directors of a limited company? How about the income paid to proprietor or partners of an unincorporated business?
You need not report dividends paid to shareholders of a limited company because dividends are not taxable.
On the other hand, salaries and directors’ fees received by directors are chargeable to Salaries Tax and should therefore be reported by means of form IR56B.
It is not necessary to file form IR56B for the proprietor /any partner of an unincorporated business or his spouse.
The remunerations paid to such person are not allowable deductions under the Inland Revenue Ordinance and have to be adjusted in computing the profits chargeable to Profits Tax.
