I'm filing in my income tax now, but there's this part I don't understand.
How do I compute the value for column F (Qualifying Expenditure) in the Form HK 1.2.4? Is there any formula I can use?

Qualifying expenditure is the lower of cost vs market value of the asset.  This is assuming the asset is purchased on a cash basis.

If it is a hire-purchase asset, then the qualifying cost is equal to the principal amount of intalments paid during the year.

There are additional rules to be observed for motor vehicles.

Yes, it's for motor vehicles. May I know what are the other rules as mentioned?

I did a bit of research and found out that the figure can be calculated with rule 78. In fact, I also tried to call bank & they said they don't have the system to find out how much I paid for my principle last year & they also suggest rule 78.
