- 呈交的截至日期为每年的31/03。
 

2. 什么是EA 表格（EA Form）？

- EA 表格又称为就业薪金结单或是 CP8A 表格。 公司每年必须为员工准备的薪金结单，须列出员工的资料与在过去一年里的收入，津贴，佣金，免税收入或福利，每月预扣税金（PCB），公积金等金额。

- 此表格不用呈交给税收局。

- 发给员工的截至日期为每年2月的最后一天。

4.1 谁需要呈报E 表格？

- 有限公司：不管是否有员工都必须呈交E 表格。

- 合伙公司或个人经营公司：如果有员工，必须注册E号码并呈交E表格。

：如果没有员工但是有注册E号码必须呈交E表格。

：如果没有员工也没有注册E号码则不必呈交E表格。
 

4.2 雇主需要准备EA表格给外劳吗？需要把外劳的资料填写在CP8D吗？

- 需要，公司必须将EA表格发给他员工并且填写在CP8D。
 

4.3 雇主需要准备EA表格给有限公司的董事吗？

4.4 雇主需要准备EA表格给个人经营公司及合伙公司的老板吗？

4.5 如何呈报E表格？

4.7 董事费与花红需要呈报吗？什么时候必须呈报？

- 基本上所有的收入必须在收到的那一年呈报。

- 例如：公司在01/02/2020 派发31/12/2019所应计（accrued）的花红给员工。那么公司须在2021年呈报2020年的E表格时包括此花红。

- 然而董事费也是如此，不过需要注意的是不管是董事或董事的亲属，即使没收到花红或董事费，这笔金额必须最迟在公司应计项目（accrual）的下一年呈报。

- 例：31/12/2019公司有一笔董事费的应计项目，董事在15/03/2021才派发这笔董事费，那么公司最迟必须在呈报2020年的E表格包括这笔董事费，原因是董事是主要股东并且有权力掌控公司。
