Complying with the Inland Revenue Ordinance (“IRO”) is always the basic responsibility of a taxpayer, what if a taxpayer commits an offence without a reasonable excuse or by willful wrongdoing. What penal actions the Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) may take? The consequence of offending the IRO can be serious.
