The Airport Authority Hong Kong has launched a new Refund Application Platform for the air passenger departure tax (APDT) starting from 1 October 2025. Eligible passengers who have paid the APDT at the time of purchasing the air tickets may easily apply for tax refunds by simply uploading supporting documents to the platform. For more details, please visit the website www.APDTRefund.hk.
Starting 1 January 2025, a Hotel Accommodation Tax (HAT) will be imposed on all accommodation charges received by hotels or guesthouses. Please click here for more information.
In Hong Kong, you can hang your hat in modest guesthouses, youth hostels, palatial hotels, chic boutiques, and mid-range comfort – in the heart of the city or away from it all. With over 84,000 rooms in over 300 hotels, you’re sure to find the perfect place for you (and your hat).
