At just 15%, low taxes offset Hong Kong’s high cost of living for this NRI couple
“We love paying low taxes here,” Sharma laughed. For the couple, lower taxes effectively help finance the higher cost of living.
She said low taxes don’t mean residents have to privately fund most essential services. Apart from public transport, access to a cheap public healthcare system is another advantage. “Public hospitals, including OPD, here are quite commonly used by everyone. Waiting times can be long, but you can visit a private general practitioner and get referred into the public system.”
