You can obtain your eTAX Password in one of the following ways:

• Apply online under eTAX using your Hong Kong Identity Card Number and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) (as printed on the front page of the Tax Return – Individuals or the Notice of Assessment issued to you).  The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) will send you an Access Code Notice within the next 2 working days.
• If you do not have a file with IRD or have not yet notified IRD of your latest correspondence address, you should complete and return to IRD a Form I.R.6104 instead of making your application online.  This form can be obtained through:
  (i)  downloading from the eTAX web site
  (ii)  Fax-A-Form Service at 2598 6001
  (iii) calling in person at IRD office in Wan Chai 

Upon receipt of the Access Code Notice, you can login eTAX and go through a simple registration process to create your own eTAX Password and set up your account profile.  If you do not complete the registration within 3 weeks from the date of the Notice, your Access Code will be revoked without further notice and you will have to apply again for using the eTAX Services.
