0% Tax in Hong Kong — Is It Possible?

Yes — through the territorial tax system, only Hong Kong-sourced income is taxed. If your business is operated entirely offshore (Offshore Claim), you can achieve an effective tax rate of 0%. Additionally, there is no capital gains tax and no dividend tax. This makes Hong Kong ideal as a personal holding or for international e-commerce businesses looking to reinvest profits tax-free.
