Tax Minimization in Hong Kong

Tax Minimization in Hong Kong

Taxes in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is the ideal place to do business in Asia. Not only because of location, but also because of the welcoming business environment, the support for companies and start-ups and the attractive taxation regime. Taxes in Hong Kong are fewer than in other business locations and allowances and deductions are also applicable.

Hong Kong has a profits tax, a salaries tax and a property tax. No VAT or sales tax are applicable here, as well as no withholding tax, capital gains tax or dividends tax. Requirements for submitting tax returns do exist but the process is straightforward.

Although the taxation regime is very permissive, there are still some ways in which business owners can apply strategies for tax minimization in Hong Kong. With the right help, foreign business owners in Hong Kong can make the most out of the applicable deductions for companies. Our lawyers in Hong Kong are a team of dedicated professionals who are ready to help you minimize taxes.

Tax optimization in Hong Kong

Opening a trading company is a common way to decrease taxes in Hong Kong. Alternatively, instead of a trading company, businesses can also use the services of a hired agent that will represent the company and channel the sales. Financial transactions between companies in Hong Kong can also be thoroughly planned so that the profits remain in offshore companies. Business owners in Hong Kong can also use the Parent-Subsidiary taxation regime for certain advantages and tax reductions.
