Mortage interest can deduce payable tax for 7 years now but is it for first-time house purchase owner? if i have another house (just for 1 year) and has been sold. Can I still enjoy this tax-decution beneit?
Anyone know?作者: ttchan 時間: 2004-3-11 18:18:40

If my memory is correct the deduction is for owner of self-use property and non-first-time home owner can also claim the deduction.作者: Y and T 時間: 2004-3-11 18:39:14

Now I have two houseswhich house can be used to claim the deduction nei? The scheme is extended two years. Does it mean we can deduce the tax until March 2006 not until march 2011.作者: diedsee 時間: 2004-3-11 22:38:48
You only can deduct the one that u lived in (place of residence).
You don't need to deduct it for continuous seven years you can deduct in any seven years.作者: N and M 時間: 2004-3-11 22:47:30

Useful link to IRD about Interest tax deduction claim http://www.ird.gov.hk/chi/faq/hli.htm
You can claim 7 years which has not to be consecutive and need not to be the same property. But it should be your residental one.
In your case it 'd better to claim the one that pay more interest and use it as your residental address :em12: because IRD can reject if it is not for own use.作者: Hotcake 時間: 2004-3-11 22:58:58
Thanks diedsee...
If i am right the scheme will be expired two years later. So we can only deduct tax two years more???作者: diedsee 時間: 2004-3-11 23:05:01
Above quote from IRD website. That means you can have 7 financial year deduction for RC if you never claim the deduction before. Also for those have 2nd mortage please noted the follows.
my understanding is not like this 7 times of tax reduction you could apply for own self-use property. So if RC is your first property you buy you have 7 times to apply tax reduction.作者: diedsee 時間: 2004-3-12 12:32:58
