Hong Kong Tax Fighter!

Tax fighter For the last several months I've been driving past this sign on the way to work. One day while in a taxi I managed to snap this picture. Amazing to me, that with taxes so high in other parts of the world, and so low (about 16%) in Hong Kong, that a bank would still advertise a service to cut taxes. I wonder if it's also available in Wii. Regardless, I always thought it a catchy sign, conspicuously absent on my drive this morning.

The Hong Kong Government doesn't mess around with taxes, either. The 4 – 6 page form is a breeze to complete. If a person misses a tax payment the government will almost immediately send a demand note along with late penalties: this is a very efficient government!
