稅務師錦囊(十之一)：2020-21年度財政預算案有甚麼薪俸稅和個人入息課稅寬免措施   一如以往幾年，因應社會經濟及財政情況，財政預算案都有若干寬免措施給予納稅人。今年，需要繳交利得稅、薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的人仕，將會就2019/20的課稅年度，有百份之百的寬減，而上限為20,000元。 值得留意的是，有關的寬免措施是以每宗個案計算。換言之，利得稅的寬減上限以每個業務計算，假如納稅人有多個一個業務，而又不選擇個人入息課稅計算的方案，寬免額度可以較多。 同理，在薪俸稅和個人入息課稅下，計算方式亦以每個個人計算。即納稅人和配偶如果選擇合併評稅或共同選擇個人入息課稅，寬減上限是二人合共20,000元；但若分開評稅或分開選擇個人入息課稅，每人可寬減最後評稅稅款的百分之一百，以20,000元為上限，亦即40,000元。 然而，大家要注意今次的寬減並不適用於物業稅，若閣下有物業出租而需要繳稅的話，則可以按個人入息課稅的方式，將收租收入計入總入息，以享受有關的稅務寬免措施。   吳錦華　註冊稅務師 吳錦華會計師事務所 (6月8日於頭條日報同步刊登) ...
