About the Hong Kong fiscal year
Hong Kong's government fiscal year runs April 1 to March 31. The Financial Secretary delivers the Budget speech in late February. The Inland Revenue Department's Year of Assessment matches this cycle.
For accountants and budget planners working on this calendar, the fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31. The first fiscal month (FM1) corresponds to April; the fourth quarter ends on the last day of March. Year-end close, audit windows, and budget kickoff all anchor to those dates rather than to January and December. For a deeper introduction to fiscal-year mechanics, see our primer on fiscal years and the historical background on why fiscal years differ across countries.
Below you'll find printable monthly templates for every fiscal month, quarterly breakdowns, the country-specific deadline schedule, and a holiday calendar mapped onto the fiscal year so you can see where each public holiday falls relative to your reporting cycle.
Key fiscal deadlines — Hong Kong
These are the recurring statutory and operational dates that drive the Hong Kong fiscal calendar. Use them as fixed anchors when scheduling close milestones, audit walkthroughs, board meetings, and budget reviews.
| Date | Event | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| April 1 | Fiscal year begins | Year-1 budgets become operative; new contracts dated for FY commencement. |
| June | End of FQ1 | First quarterly close window. |
| September | Mid-year reforecast | Half-year results trigger reforecast for back-half. |
| March end | Fiscal year ends | Year-end close; audit walkthroughs begin shortly after. |
Planning tips for Hong Kong
- Year-end close concentrates in the final 2 fiscal months; resource planning should reflect this.
- Map public holidays onto fiscal months early — non-business days impact close calendars and accruals.
- Compare your fiscal calendar to vendor and customer calendars when negotiating annual contracts.
