Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum share capital for a Hong Kong company?
A: Hong Kong has no minimum share capital requirement for private companies. The standard authorized share capital is HKD 10,000 divided into 10,000 shares of HKD 1 each. Actual capital injection depends on business needs.
Q: Can a mainland Chinese company directly own a HK company?
A: Yes, but the mainland parent must complete ODI registration before acquiring the HK entity. The investment must be registered with NDRC, MOFCOM, and SAFE to enable lawful capital transfer.
Q: Does Hong Kong tax offshore income?
A: Hong Kong operates a territorial tax system. Income sourced outside Hong Kong is generally not subject to Profits Tax. However, claiming offshore exemption requires proper documentation and may attract IRD inquiry. We manage the claim process.
Q: What are the annual compliance requirements for a HK company?
A: Annual requirements include: statutory audit (within 6 months of FY end), Profits Tax Return (within 1 month of IRD issuance), Annual Return (within 42 days of ARD), Business Registration renewal, and keeping statutory books updated. Non-compliance results in penalties and potential striking off.
