All the based pilots I know,
do pay tax to the HKIRD.
But, if you're into semantics, there could be the odd individual, who because of very reduced time in hk, may not breach the threshold of days in HK to trigger HKIRD liability. But as we're talking about the principle of the issue, and as you may well be KA, you may not be aware that those possible/theoretical individuals would be the smallest minority, and in practical terms totally irrelevant to the point in question.
