| Well, it ain't exactly a superabundance of wealth coming your way !
~HK$17K won't go *that* far per month ! Especially when a large percentage will be eaten up by grasping landlords!
One thing you *could* do to somewhat mitigate your HK Tax position is to have a "rent allowance" written in to any contract of employment & have the employER pay the rent - that way, that amount is taxed at a much lesser rate of personal tax for you.
Whilst I applaud your efforts to get out'a grotty Britain, you'd better realise that without sufficient financial returns to be had here, it would be a case of "Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire".... and taxed by HK as well as the **UK Taxman**.
If you quit at an inopportune moment - your HK remunerations will be subject to UK Tax as well if you return there. |
