How to pick the best tax loan?

Interest rate is not the ONLY factor for comparing tax loans

Comparing loan plans are not only about interest rates but the total costs of your loan, such as the total amount, repayment period, and handling fee. So, Annual Percentage Rate (APR) expressed as a percentage of the actual yearly cost of a loan over the term. It is the best indicator when doing the comparison of different loan plans.

Why do we need tax loans?

Paying tax

During the tax season, Hong Kong banks and private financial lenders provide tax loans in a lower interest rate with longer repayment, some of them even extend to 48 months. So that you are able to manage cash flow with higher flexibility.

Simpler and more flexible loan application

Lower interest rates, simpler application and fewer limitations are highlights. As long as you’re age 18+ and earning HK$60,000+/year or HK$5,000+/month, you’re welcomed to apply for tax loans. Bring a copy of your latest tax slip and you’re good to go!

Tips for Getting Tax Loans

Tip #1Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the key to compare loans

The calculation of APR includes all the interests, admin fees and handling fees of a tax loan. That’s why APR is the best way to compare the actual expenses of tax loans.

Tip #2Different loan promotions launch in tax seasons

Banks and private lenders usually launch tax loan offers from October to April of the next year. Out of all loan promotions, cash rebate is the most common one – the more you borrow, the more rebates you can get.

Tip #3Be aware of the terms and conditions in loans

Some tax loans may look attractive with an extremely low interest rate. But everything come at a price — the banks will ask you to set up an account and make a huge deposit first; or they’ll set a bottom limit to your borrowing amount, then you’ll have to borrow a loan of $1,000,000+ to get the lowest interest rate.
