Tax-free shopping in Hong Kong
No. Hong Kong has no tourist tax refund scheme today.
Hong Kong has no VAT, GST or sales tax, so shelf prices are already tax-free and there is no refund scheme. Only a few goods (mainly alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil and methyl alcohol) carry duty.
Worth knowing
- Compare prices with your home country; shelf prices carry no sales tax to reclaim.
- Check your home country's customs allowance before bringing goods back.
