Hong Kong company Introduction
Hong Kong（HK） is a former British Dependent Territory which became a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China with effect from 1 July 1997. Hong Kong continues to have high autonomy in the running of its affairs under a 'one country, two systems' concept. Hong Kong remains a relative powerhouse in world trade and, with a comparatively small population of more than 7 million, is one of the top twenty trading economies, the world's third largest financial centre, and vies with Singapore as the largest container port in terms of volume. Hong Kong remains the most significant gateway into Southern China.
Law and Taxation for Hong Kong company
Hong Kong's corporate law is based on British Common Law. Local businesses are regulated and Hong Kong regards itself as a Low Tax Centre rather than a Tax Haven. Taxes are levied on profits, salaries and properties at varying rates. Estate duties were completely abolished on 11 February 2006. Only profits derived in Hong Kong are assessable for taxation and genuine offshore transactions are not subject to Hong Kong tax, although the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is extremely diligent in its determination of onshore and offshore profits.
Due to Hong Kong's role as a major trading and entry point to the Mainland and Asia, the bulk of companies formed in Hong Kong are generally for trading purposes.
