Income from office

An office holder is a position which may be called a company director. The source of income from an office is determined by the location of the office. The key factor is the place of management and control of the office. For example, if the directors hold one of their board meetings in Hong Kong, then the income will be subject to salaries tax fully without time apportionment.
