Examples of Tax Benefits Associated with TVC

Based on the prevailing highest tax rate (i.e. 17%), the maximum tax savings can reach up to HK$10,200 every year. Yet, it does not mean that any taxpayer who uses up to the deduction cap of HK$60,000 can enjoy HK$10,200 in tax savings. Tax savings depends on a number of factors, including personal income level, entitled tax allowances and deductions as well as the amount of qualifying deferred annuity premiums or TVC, etc.

The following table provides an example of the potential annual tax savings for individuals with different incomes and tax brackets. Assuming the taxpayer is only entitled to basic allowance and tax deductions from MPF mandatory contributions, the tax savings per year are:

1 To meet the purpose of encouraging extra savings for retirement, the TVC is subject to the preservation requirements. It means that withdrawal is allowed only upon retirement at the age of 65 or on statutorily permissible grounds including early retirement attaining the age of 60, total incapacity, terminal illness, permanent departure from Hong Kong, death and small balances.

 

2 It is an aggregate limit for both TVC and other qualifying deferred annuity premiums. Please refer to the Inland Revenue Ordinance for further details.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
  • Investment involves risks. Prices of units of the Constituent Funds may go down as well as up. The past performance information is not indicative of future performance.
  • You should not solely rely on the information from this website to make any investment decision. Please refer to the MPF Scheme Brochure of the Scheme for further details (including risk factors, fees and charges, and fund information).
  • You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before making any investment choices. When, in your selection of Constituent Funds, you are in doubt as to whether a certain Constituent Fund is suitable for you (including whether it is consistent with your investment objectives), you should seek financial and/or professional advice and choose the Constituent Fund(s) most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances.
  • You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before investing in the MPF Default Investment Strategy (as defined in section 6.7 MPF Default Investment Strategy in the MPF Scheme Brochure of BOC-Prudential Easy-Choice Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "Scheme")). You should note that the BOC-Prudential Core Accumulation Fund and the BOC-Prudential Age 65 Plus Fund may not be suitable for you, and there may be a risk mismatch between the BOC-Prudential Core Accumulation Fund and the BOC-Prudential Age 65 Plus Fund and your risk profile (the resulting portfolio risk may be greater than your risk preference). You should seek financial and/or professional advice if you are in doubt as to whether the MPF Default Investment Strategy is suitable for you, and make the investment decision most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances.
  • You should note that the implementation of the MPF Default Investment Strategy may have an impact on your MPF investments and accrued benefits. We recommend that you consult with the Trustee if you have doubts on how you are being affected.
  • Fees and charges of a MPF conservative fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the fund or (ii) members' account by way of unit deduction. The BOC-Prudential MPF Conservative Fund uses method (i) and, therefore, unit prices/NAV/fund performance quoted have incorporated the impact of fees and charges.
