No need, unless you're a US citizen. If not from the fair U S of A, the tax form is five pages of instructions (of which one will apply to you) and the return is four pages. It takes ten minutes. Basically, 15% flat tax. No H&R Blocks' here.

If your income is approx less than 1.5m p.a. then it is worth applying the personal allowances - you'll end up paying less than 15%. Now an accountant would have charged you a fortune for that!! Good luck in HK.
