Several questions about how to leave HK, as I haven't done it before.
1) I have a few items of furniture I want to keep...not enough for a container (literally: a desk, a bookshelf and a guitar and amp). What is the best way to ship those items to my new job in Africa? I have read that furniture makers can deliver your new couch all the way to the US for about $150...what services do they use and how can I make use of this?
2) I have the form from my previous employer that I'm supposed to take to town to the IRD. What is this for....I assume it makes my departure 'official' and I get a rebate on my provisional tax I paid for next year. But does this also mean that I no longer will have to file taxes in HK each year? I ask because I have rolled all my ORSO money into an MPF account, and I plan on leaving all that money here, as well as keeping my bank accounts open. I am a US citizen, if that plays any role...but I keep everything legal, and claim all my accounts on my US taxes.
Thanks in advance. Moving is hard work, and a bit scary!
