Incorporating mental health into our VHIS plan

According to a survey conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong in July last year, the average mental health index was 46.41 points, while figures from the Hospital Authority also show that the waiting time for stable psychiatric cases in specialist outpatient clinics in public hospitals was 117 weeks.

Provide comprehensive protection for your loved ones and enjoy a tax deduction

Since the launch of the Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) in April 2019, I think most Hong Kong people know that these insurance premiums can be claimed as a tax deduction. However, many people mistakenly think that the deduction only applies to insurance they purchase for themselves. In fact, you can claim a tax deduction for every eligible plan you purchase for your “specified relatives”, including your spouse, children and parents. You’ll receive a proof of premium payment from your insurer by the end of April showing the amount of qualifying premiums you can claim as a tax deduction. Please remember to make sure your insurance plan is approved by the government if you want to enjoy a tax deduction under VHIS.
