Deloitte China has put forward a series of recommendations for Hong Kong’s 2026/27 Budget, targeting capital markets, wealth management, the Northern Metropolis, and innovation and technology. The proposals aim to attract more enterprises, talent, and investment to the city, reinforcing its role as an international financial and innovation hub.
The firm expects the Hong Kong government to record a HK$500 million surplus in the 2025/26 fiscal year, a significant improvement from the previously projected HK$67 billion deficit. Deloitte suggested measures such as tax incentives for fund managers, dual listing enhancements, and a cross-border tax framework for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Cooperation Zone.
In addition, Deloitte recommended a 100% salaries and personal income tax rebate of up to HK$5,000 for 2025/26 and a 10% rise in personal allowances starting in 2026/27 to ease household financial pressure.
