but depending on the package you might still end up paying lesser tax in hk than sg. i know for sure if i am getting my pack in hk now my tax shld be lower.

the sg's deductables are not really that much. you get like SGD3k/5k/10k type of drips and pieces whereas in hk you get the first 100k hkd tax free and the earlier tax brackets are also quite good.

you shld look at the whole number and the taxation at the two different countries, than to look at it piece wise and start screaming that its not worth the deal. ...
