Corporate Tax Compliance Services in Hong Kong
Every company which is doing business in Hong Kong that is making profits from its trade will have those profits taxed. Once a company has been incorporated, tax authorities will be tracking the performance of these companies. Tax returns will be issued for the first upcoming year of assessment. Even if your company has not had its tax return issued but profits have been made, you company still has an obligation to notify the tax authorities. Offshore profits are generally beyond the territorial coverage of the Hong Kong tax system.

An Overview of Hong Kong’s Tax System
The Year of Assessment (YA) runs from 1 April to 31 March. Assessable profits must be computed by adjusting the accounting profit or loss for the financial year ending within that year of assessment. 16.5% is the assessable profit corporate tax rate for companies. Special business operations will be eligible for certain tax incentives. Hong Kong’s tax legislations states that various adjustments must be made to a company’s accounting profit to determine its taxable profit. The deadline which your company must file its annual tax returns and financial statements each YA will be based on the month which the accounting period ends.
For overseas incorporated companies, they must file their tax returns to their respective Hong Kong branch operations on a similar basis to a company which has been locally incorporated. Inter-company interest which is paid overseas is often not allowed, unless the Hong Kong taxpayer is involved in intra-group financing operations, and provided that certain conditions are met.
Once the tax return has been filed, a notice of assessment will be issued. Provisional tax will be payable during the tax year based on the preceding year’s tax liabilities, and this would be for tax collection purposes.
