Hong Kong Seasonal Planning Calendar
Plan around the year’s recurring household tasks. Leave time to check official announcements, prepare documents and review budgets. Dates and policies can change each year.
January to March | Review the year ahead
Review household budgets, insurance renewals, transit passes and subscription renewals. Check new tax measures and confirm their effective dates before updating any calculator.
April to June | Tax filing and summer plans
Organise income records, deductions and allowance information. Follow the Inland Revenue Department’s instructions when you receive a return. Before summer trips, check current border, transport and activity arrangements.
July to September | School and household costs
Review school expenses, transport and family care schedules. If moving or renting, use the moving and rent tools to list one-off and recurring costs.
October to December | Holiday travel and annual review
Budget for transport, meals and tickets, and check cancellation terms before booking. Review subscriptions, energy costs and next year’s tasks.
Editorial update checklist
Update amounts, dates and eligibility only after checking official information. Add a review date and source link. Remove expired offers or label them as historical.
