Why Hong Kong?
Hong Kong's tax system is territorial: only profits sourced in Hong Kong are taxed. The rate is 8.25% on the first HKD 2 million of profits and 16.5% thereafter (Two-Tiered Profits Tax). The Profits Tax Return must be filed with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) within one month of receipt. The first financial year can be up to 18 months.
There is no VAT, no capital gains tax, and no withholding tax on dividends. Profits sourced outside Hong Kong may qualify for offshore exemption, subject to IRD review, depending on actual business activity, where contracts are concluded and documentation. This is relevant for personal holdings, e-commerce, agencies, wholesale, trading and other international businesses. Your home country applies its own rules: How much tax is due in the end depends on your residence, place of management and documentation.
Strasia Group, as a TCSP-licensed service provider in Hong Kong, offers complete accounting and tax services: from ongoing bookkeeping to annual financial statement preparation and IRD filing. We use modern cloud-based software such as QuickBooks and Xero, and communicate via your preferred channel — WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. Documents can be submitted conveniently via Google Drive, Dropbox, or physical mail.
Which deadlines apply to your company is worked out by our Hong Kong deadline calendar from your incorporation date. Whether Hong Kong fits your business at all is shown in the Hong Kong guide with Fit Check.
