Do I need to pay the tax while I am waiting for the result of my objection?

The Commissioner will transmit the determination to you together with reasons in writing within a reasonable time.

Late objection will only be considered if the IRD Commissioner is satisfied that owing to absence from Hong Kong, sickness or other reasonable causes, the person objecting to the assessment was prevented from giving such notice within the prescribed time limit.
