Beijing businessman seeks judicial review after Hong Kong talent scheme rejection

A Beijing businessman is suing Hong Kong's Immigration Department after his "Top Talent Pass Scheme" application was rejected. He seeks to overturn the decision. The applicant claims his company met the profit requirements for the A-list scheme, but was denied for not meeting "full tax year" criteria. He argues the department's definition of a tax year is inconsistent. He alleges the department's interpretation of "annual" is too narrow and contradicts its own guidelines, seeking a judicial review to have his application reconsidered.
