DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAXATION

Suitable Choices

The choices you make with your tax planning can benefit your overall tax rate or they may subject your company or business to additional tax, interest and penalties. Tax considerations are therefore an important aspect of every business or professional activity that presents both challenges and opportunities.

The Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region practices a prudent fiscal policy with a low overall level of taxation and a heavy reliance on direct taxes. Most direct taxes, apart from gambling, are levied at low rates and that makes the jurisdiction attractive to foreign investment. It is also not uncommon for the Government to implement tax incentive programs.
