Since December 1997, ACCA Hong Kong has submitted its budget proposals to the financial secretary on an annual basis.
A Tax Interest Group (TIG) was formed in 1998 to enable interested members to come together periodically to share tax-related experience, discuss taxation problems they face and bring to others' attention issues of significance. To facilitate effective discussion, TIG members are split into sub-groups which meet on a monthly or bi-monthly basis.
Since May 1999, in response to an initiative taken by the Inland Revenue Department, ACCA Hong Kong has been offering free tax advisory services to the public, to assist them in the completion of individual income tax returns. Members are invited to volunteer their service through service hotlines and counters in May each year.
