In Hong Kong, there are 3 types of taxes: profit tax, salaries tax and property tax. Your Hong Kong Company would only be affected by profits tax (assuming you do not buy property in Hong Kong). The current profits tax rate in Hong Kong is 16.5%. If your company has done offshore business (i.e. outside Hong Kong), you can apply for corporate tax exemption with the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department which if successful would mean that a 0% tax rate would apply. A corporate tax exemption claim is not automatic. It needs to be applied each year (with supporting documents). There is no single determining factor for the Hong Kong Company’s success of a corporate tax exemption claim.In this webinar, Albert Hui, Senior Consultant at Koehler Group’s Hong Kong office, will provide tips and recommendations on how to maintain all your corporate documents and accounting documents in order so as to achieve a greater success rate upon applying for the tax exemption rate and he will go through the step by step procedures on how the tax exemption application works and how the negotiations are dealt with the Inland Revenue Department.
