HONG KONG: THUMB OF RULE – FILING ON TIME

You may go to work late, or meet your friends late. However, filing your limited company’s annual return to the Company Registry must be on time. The Company Registry strictly requires all limited companies to file yearly. No matter whether there is no change in company structure, address, or related issues.

What should you do?

Your licensed Company Secretary will inform you in advance of Annual Return Filing. Then you have to confirm with the Company Secretary if there have been any changes. For example, any updates on the company structure, related members, and their details.

With your updated information, the Company Secretary will fill in and file the Annual Return to the Company Registry on behalf of your company.

After the submission of the Annual Return, the Company Registry will check and also update the online record within 7 working days.

What is the penalty for late filing?

Within the first 42days from the company’s return date – HK$305
On the 43 days and within 3 months from the company’s return date – HK$870
More than 3 months but within 6 months from the company’s return date – Hk$1740
More than 6 months but within 9 months from the company’s return date – HK$2610
More than 9 months from the company’s return date – HK$3480

What are the risks when you are not filing on time?

As it is a public searchable record that any company that has not been filing the returns on time, affects the image of the company and reputation, partners, suppliers and clients of the company may question the good standing of the business.
As it’s a public searchable record, when banks find out the returns are not done promptly. The banks will consider to freeze or even close down the company bank account.
Company Registry may notify other government departments including the Inland Revenue Department to freeze the business registration. As a result, the company will not be able to legally operate the business. And may lead to forced de-registration of the business, court hearings and penalties.

ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTATION FOR MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING

Documents for monthly book keeping Centre O

Managing the financial aspect of a trading business requires diligence and organization, particularly when it comes to monthly bookkeeping. Accurate record-keeping is not just about maintaining good practices. However, it’s crucial to ensure your accounting records are ready for audits at year-end. Here’s an overview of the essential documentation to streamline your monthly bookkeeping process.

Sales Records

Sales Invoices

The foundation of any trading business’s revenue lies in its sales invoices. Each invoice should include vital information such as the client’s name, address, contact email, and mobile number. Additionally, document the invoice date along with a detailed description of goods or services provided and their corresponding amounts in specified currencies. This documentation will serve as proof of sale and is indispensable during audits.

Payment Proof

Once you issue invoices, tracking payments is essential. Collect payment proof such as bank statements showing funds received or payment slips provided by clients. These documents should indicate the payment date, and amount received (in relevant currencies), and specify how the funds were transferred—whether through your company bank account, personal account, or online platforms like Stripe or even cryptocurrencies.

Purchase Records

Purchase Orders to Suppliers

Next in line are your purchase orders (POs) sent to suppliers. These documents should outline details including order date, total amounts spent on inventory or supplies, item descriptions, and currency used for transactions. Maintaining these records not only helps track purchases but also assists in managing supplier relationships effectively.

Supplier Payments

Just as you need evidence for income receipts from clients, it’s equally important to document payments made to suppliers accurately! Proof could be found within bank statements showing payment transactions or copies of paying slips that indicate transaction dates alongside amounts paid (with currency). Keeping this information organized ensures transparency in your accounts payable processes.

Shipping Records

For businesses involved in trading physical goods rather than services alone ‘shipping documentation’ becomes necessary! Records such as AWBs from delivery companies like FedEx can confirm that goods have been dispatched accordingly—a requirement auditors requirements auditors often seek during reviews of completed transactions! Forwarder invoices and other shipping documents must also reflect shipping details comprehensively.

Bank Statements

To make your life easier at the year-end. Monthly bank statements to reconcile with the cash book or accounting software like XERO. A common pitfall observed among some businesses involves neglecting proper bank reconciliation practices. That is leaving discrepancies between created ledgers versus actual bank statements! Such oversights compel accountants later on; they may need to spend extra time combing through each transaction again while reconciling differing reports leading to unnecessary confusion—and delays at audit time!

Last but not least, ensure all supporting documents are properly arranged each month without fail so that financial visibility remains clear year-round—and avoid headaches when navigating potential audits down the line!

If you ever have questions regarding effective bookkeeping strategies tailored specifically toward trading enterprises—or wish assistance streamlining these processes—don’t hesitate to reach out via email at sales@centreo.hk today! By staying organized with consistent record-keeping habits surrounding critical documentation—all parties involved can ensure accurate assessments take place efficiently whenever required throughout any given fiscal period ahead!

OFFSHORE & ONSHORE COMPANIES IN HONG KONG

Hong Kong is a busy city with tall skyscrapers, a major free trade port, and a global financial hub. It follows the Common Law system, which protects private property and ensures fair legal processes.

Hong Kong has one of the most business-friendly economies in the world. Its tax system is simple, with low corporate tax rates (8.25% or 16.5%). There are no taxes on capital gains, dividends, sales, or customs duties.

However, Hong Kong companies can have two different fiscal statuses:

1. Offshore Status (0% Tax)

Hong Kong uses a territorial tax system, meaning companies doing business outside Hong Kong may qualify for 0% tax.

Conditions for Offshore Status:

No customers or suppliers in Hong Kong
Business operations happen outside Hong Kong
No office or employees in Hong Kong
Contracts and invoices should not involve Hong Kong
No goods entering Hong Kong

The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) will review documents before approving offshore status. Even if approved, the company must still:

Keep proper accounts
Submit audit reports
File tax returns in other countries where it operates

Important Notes:

The IRD may check records 2-3 years later to confirm offshore status.
If the company starts doing business in Hong Kong, the offshore status can be canceled.
Then IRD are becoming stricter, so proper accounting is essential.

2. Onshore Status (Profits Tax Applies)

If a company does business in Hong Kong, it is considered onshore and must be subject to profits tax.

Tax Rates for Onshore Companies:

First HKD 2 million profit: 8.25% (reduced rate for SMEs)
Profit above HKD 2 million: 16.5%
HKD 20,000 tax reduction automatically applied

This two-tier tax system helps small and medium businesses save money.

Which One is Better?

Offshore: Best for businesses operating outside Hong Kong (0% tax).
Onshore: Best for businesses in Hong Kong (low tax rates).

Conclusion

Hong Kong offers great tax benefits for both offshore and onshore companies. Choosing the right status depends on where your business operates. Proper accounting and legal compliance are key to avoiding problems with the IRD.
