The same issue affects all CX crew on bases. They have tried to pretend that the basings are legitimate in HK law. They are not, but they are still sending out tax info saying that we work for overseas companies. They are doing this on tax forms which can only be illegal in the eyes of HKIRD. HKIRD should tell CX to pay all the back tax to March 2012 and then we can start again.
In fairness the previous GMA, who is now in Canada, was the one who ignored advice from people who knew, (do not include KPMG in that group), and arrogantly blazed a basings trail that will cost CX dear. The longer term legal ramifications will see CX close all the bases, apart from North America. In North American law CX is still a HK company and the law recognises that N/A crews are, in fact, based in HK, just like HKIRD have been saying all along.
Eventually HKIRD will grab the company by the short and curlies.
