Why
incorporate in Hong Kong, SAR - China
The Open Economy system
in Hong Kong is well-known to the World. The
legal system of Hong Kong remains based upon
that of England and Wales, Common Law. Legislation
is by locally enacted Ordinance and, in practice,
especially as the law applies to ordinary citizens
or business people from overseas, little has
changed since 1997.
Hong Kong is one of the world's reliable and
efficient financial centres. The advantages
of no exchange control, sound legal system and
efficient transport/communication networks make
Hong Kong competitive in the world and keep
continuous growth of economy.
After China joined WTO, the role of Hong Kong
is more important, especially in acting as the
Gateway to China and the finance centre among
China, Hong Kong and the World.
LOW AND SIMPLE TAX
Hong Kong Tax System is focusing on simple and
easy to operate. Income taxes (salaries tax,
profits tax and property tax) are charged on
income which has a Hong Kong source. Estate
duty is charged on the principal value of property
located in Hong Kong passing on the death of
the deceased. Stamp duty is charged on instruments
which relate to Hong Kong assets. There is no
capital gains tax and dividend income tax. The
standard tax rates are comparatively low with
other developed countries. Offshore businesses
and operations without central management in
Hong Kong may claim offshore profit and hence
is not subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax (subject
to final assessment).
QUALITY IFS PROVIDERS
When introducing a jurisdiction, one of the
major concerns is the availability of sound
professional resources. Many jurisdictions cannot
offer basic services such as professional audits
etc.. Knowledgeable IFS providers with FCCA
staff, like us, know best when a company should
keep bearer shares and when it is most appropriate
to register them, or to use nominee shareholder
or corporate director. Our professional staff
ensures proper procedure is followed.
FAMILIARITY
Company Law (or "Ordinance") is basically
using the system in the United Kingdom and hence,
the Law is similiar to other developed countries
and is more understandable.
NO LOCAL RESIDENTSHIP REQUIREMENTS
The minimum number of director(s) and shareholder(s)
of a private Hong Kong limited company is ONE

may be the director(s) and/or shareholder(s)
of the Hong Kong company. In addition, the Hong
Kong may be operated remotely in client's home
country.
