Tax records and receipts · Hong Kong

Tax done at the till, not at the end of the month.

A clean receipt and record for every sale, ready when IRD or your accountant asks.

Most tax trouble starts small: a receipt that wasn’t issued, a sale that never reached the books, a sales figure rebuilt from a notebook weeks later. EliteTeQ works out the tax on each sale as it happens in Hong Kong and keeps the records in one place, so filing is a report you run, not a week you lose.

  • A receipt for every sale
  • Dated record of every sale
  • Reports ready to file
  • Records kept even offline

How tax works in EliteTeQ

  1. 1

    Set your tax rates once

    During setup we enter your tax rates with you: standard, reduced or zero-rated items, and whether your prices include tax or have it added.

  2. 2

    Sell as normal

    Each sale works out the tax line by line and the receipt shows it, so the customer and your records see the same figures.

  3. 3

    Records build themselves

    Every sale, return and void is kept with its tax, cashier and time, including sales made offline, which sync when the connection returns.

  4. 4

    File from a report

    At the end of the period, run the tax report for IRD by date and branch, and use it to file or hand it to your accountant.

What your tax records look like

01 / 03

The tax line is on every receipt

Each item carries its own tax setting, so mixed baskets of standard and zero-rated goods come out right without anyone doing sums.

  • Tax set per product
  • Prices with or without tax
  • Receipt shows the tax clearly

02 / 03

Your tax report, by date and branch

Pick a period and see sales and tax by branch, ready to file or send to your accountant.

  • Any date range
  • Split by branch
  • Returns and voids already netted off

03 / 03

Every change leaves a trail

Returns, voids and price changes are recorded with who did them and when, so the figures you file can be explained line by line.

  • Who changed what, and when
  • Tax reversed on returns
  • Manager approval for voids

Questions owners ask us

Not answered here? A real person replies on WhatsApp.

Can my prices include tax, or have it added at the till?

Either. You choose per product during setup, and the receipt shows the tax clearly both ways.

What happens to tax on a return or a void?

The tax is reversed with the sale, and the return or void is recorded with the cashier, time and any manager approval, so the report stays right.

Does it keep records when the internet is down?

Yes. Sales are recorded on the device with their tax and sync automatically when the connection comes back, so nothing is missing from the report.

Can my accountant get the reports in Hong Kong?

Yes. Run the report for any period and branch and export it for your accountant, with figures in HKD.

Which taxes can EliteTeQ handle in Hong Kong?

It keeps receipts and dated sales records for every sale, and can apply any tax rate you set up, so the records are ready for IRD.
