The Inland Revenue Department alerted members of the public to fraudulent Notices on Stamp Duty Certificate purportedly issued by the Department, which require the recipients to pay landed tax in Renminbi within 5 working days.
The Department has no connection with the notices. The Stamp Duty Ordinance does not impose landed tax and all tax is only payable in Hong Kong dollars. Members of the public are reminded to be alert to such suspicious notices.
Please refer to the IRD's circular on this matter : https://www.ird.gov.hk/eng/new/index.htm
