* Sun Life MPF Master Trust has been merged into Sun Life Rainbow MPF Scheme from 30 August 2023
TVC is a form of MPF contributions which can help you save money while enjoying tax deduction. The contributions you make to this TVC account (up to an annual limit of HKD60,000) will be counted as a deductible item when you report your taxable income. Depending on your TVC amount, based on the prevailing highest tax rate (i.e. 17%), the maximum tax savings can reach $10,200*.
Scheme members can enjoy the flexibility to make TVC to their TVC accounts at any time and in varying amounts. They can also increase or reduce the amount of contributions, or cease to make contributions, or resume the making of contributions at any time, having regard to their personal circumstances.
TVC is designed to fortify your retirement reserves, so it is subject to the preservation requirement applicable to mandatory contributions and can only be withdrawn upon scheme member's reaching age 65 or on other statutory grounds under the MPF legislation.
*This is the maximum tax concession amount in the year of assessment 2021/2022.

TVC is a simple, convenient and flexible arrangement for retirement savings. Eligible persons can open TVC accounts in any MPF schemes which offer such accounts and make contributions directly to the accounts.
Tax concessions on TVC starts from 1 April 2019. Eligible persons can claim deductions when you fill in the tax return for the year of assessment 2019/20 for your TVC made from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020.
The following persons are eligible to open a TVC account in an MPF scheme:
You can open a TVC account and make contributions directly to the account. You can then enjoy tax deduction under salaries tax or tax under personal assessment for your TVC. The maximum tax deduction cap for the year of assessment 2019/2020 is HK$60,000, which is an aggregate limit for TVC and qualifying annuity premium.
If you have more than one TVC account, the maximum tax deduction cap applies to the total amount of contributions of all of your TVC accounts. To facilitate your filing of tax return, MPF trustee will provide a TVC contribution summary to you each year.

You can transfer all balance in a TVC account to another TVC account under a different scheme at any time. If you wish to transfer the balance in a TVC account to another MPF scheme, all you need to do is to fill in the "Scheme Member's Request for Transfer of Tax Deductible Voluntary Contributions" (Form MPF(S)-P(T)) and then send it to your new scheme trustee, the form can be obtained from MPF trustee or MPFA.
To meet the purpose of encouraging extra savings for retirement, TVC will be subject to the same preservation requirements of mandatory contribution. You can only withdraw TVC account balance upon reaching 65 years of age, or on other statutory grounds. Contributions exceeding the tax deduction cap cannot be withdrawn early either.
Withdrawal arrangement of TVC is the same as that of mandatory contribution. You should submit the completed claim form to your MPF trustee and provide the supporting documents required.
Similar to other types of contributions, you have the right to choose the constituent funds offered by the MPF scheme. If you have not given any investment instructions, your TVC will be invested according to the Default Investment Strategy for your investment.
The current tax deductions for mandatory contributions will not be affected by the implementation of TVC. The existing maximum amount deductible for mandatory contributions (HK$18,000) will not be affected after the implementation of TVC.
To open a TVC account, you can either complete our online application form directly or download and complete the PDF application form(s), then submit to us.
