the advantages of setting up a Hong Kong Company
Hong Kong is an ideal place to invest-a free and liberal investment regime, absence of trade barriers; Hong Kong is fully committed to the protection of human rights non-discrimination against overseas investors: Complete freedom of capital movement; Most people honor Hong Kong as a gateway to mainland China for foreign investors and a springboard to the outside world for mainland China’s investors; a deep water harbour; a free trade & free market; a corruption-free & stable society; low & predictable taxes; a sound & free banking system, an independent judiciary; a comprehensive system of legalaid; and a free and active press; and an independent Ombudsman。
Hong Kong companies are incorporated pursuant to and governed by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Most companies are private companies limited by shares. Unlimited companies and companies limited by guarantee may also be incorporated. The TrustNet Group can provide Hong Kong companies incorporated specifically to client instructions. Alternatively shelf companies are immediately available and can be restructured as directed. Following are some requirements for Hong Kong companies:
A. Flexible companies'names
In Hong Kong, we are free to make a choice of companies'names, if not registered before. But you are advised to choose the name of your company carefully. It is very important that you portray the image you want for your new company. You are also required to avoid using any company name which may be too similar to any existing company or trademark. A company name can be in English, in Chinese, or both. In cases where the liability of members is limited,whether limited by shares or guarantee, the name must end with “Limited”. A proposed company name cannot be the same as any of the existing name registered at the Companies Registry.
B.Share capital and directors There is no minimum share capital requirement. Share capital can be denominated in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars and multiple currency share capital is permitted. Separate classes of shares with different rights to dividends and in different currencies are permitted. A minimum of two shareholders is permitted.
Companies may have only one director. It is not necessary that any of the directors be resident in Hong Kong. The directors may be corporate. Particulars of the directors and secretary must be filed with the Registrar.
C.Low & Predictable Taxes in Hong Kong
Hong Kong taxes are among the lowest in the world, and our tax regime is simple and predictable. Profits tax payable by local and foreign companies is equally low 17.5 percent. The actual tax bill is even less after various deductions and depreciation allowances.
There is no capital gains tax in Hong Kong. Furthermore, there is no withholding tax on dividends and interest and no collection of social security benefit.
Salaries tax is also very low at only 16 percent imposed on all salary income of individuals derived in or from Hong Kong. The salaries tax is demanded on a yearly basis and can be paid in two installments, usually between December and March.
The property tax (15%) applies to owners of land or buildings situated in Hong Kong. Again this is low 16 percent (for 2004/5) of the rental income from the land or buildings and an allowance of 20 percent is permitted for repairs and maintenance.
There is no sales tax or VAT in Hong Kong. The limited tax base, combined with exceptionally low tax rates, makes Hong Kong’s tax incidence much lower than in virtually all other developed economies.
The financial industry
From early in its history, the excellent harbor and geographical location of Hong Kong made it a focal point for international trade. Today it has a developed financial and trade infrastructure with a sophisticated banking and financial services industry. This infrastructure, a low tax rate, no exchange control and a continued commitment to minimum government regulation are the ingredients which have made Hong Kong the financial center of the Pacific and Far East.
