设立香港公司第六部分:香港声誉

香港与伦敦和纽约一起被公认为世界上最受尊敬的金融中心之一。它是世界上最繁忙的城市之一,其作为亚洲金融中心和交易业务枢纽的效率举世闻名。

香港是亚洲领先的金融和商业中心,是仅次于纽约和伦敦的世界第三大金融中心。香港有超过135家持牌银行,其中120多家外国银行在香港设有代表处,另有39家持牌存款财务公司,均在国际贸易和商业融资方面发挥积极作用。
香港通常不被视为离岸国家,因为它以主要金融中心而闻名,但它是世界上少数几个按地域征税的国家之一。许多国家/地区根据不同的基础征收企业所得税,并对企业的全球利润征税,其中包括从国外活动中获得的利润。与日本、韩国、泰国、印度和中国等其他亚洲国家不同;香港没有任何外汇或资本管制,因此允许资金自由进出香港。

香港入境事务处

除了控制进出香港的人员流动外,入境事务处也是满足您文件需要的地方。如护照、旅行证件、签证、身份证、国籍事项和出生、死亡和婚姻登记。

香港会议展览中心

在之前的博客文章中,有一些关于入境事务处的信息,现在在同一行人天桥的右侧,是香港的会议展览中心。该中心位于维多利亚港,旨在创新和创造性地举办世界上最盛大的活动。

设立香港公司第四部分:离岸收入

香港税法规定,在香港境外产生或取得的利润无须缴纳香港税款。但是,纳税人有责任提供足够的证据和文件来满足税务部门对其离岸索赔的要求,即“有罪直至证明无罪”
那么如何证明利润来自香港以外地区呢?
为了声称本公司的业务活动并非在香港进行,本公司必须向税务部门提供证据以支持其离岸索赔。
注意:这个简单的概念可能会产生不明确的案例,因此难以确定离岸索赔的最终结果。

SETTING UP A HONG KONG COMPANY PART THREE: Taxation

Taxation Hong Kong

When is it necessary to pay taxes?

 

Hong Kong profits tax is ONLY charged on profits derived from a trade, profession or business carried on in Hong Kong.

(This means that a company which carries on a business in Hong Kong, but derives profits from another place, is not required to pay tax in Hong Kong on those profits)

What is the rate of taxation?

Hong Kong sourced income is currently subject to a rate of taxation of 16.5 per cent.

There is NO TAX in Hong Kong on capital gains, dividends and interest earned.

How is the locality of the profits established?

The factor that determines the locality of profits from trading in goods and commodities is generally the place where the contracts for purchase and sale are effected.

Note: The term “Effected” does not only mean where the contracts are legally executed, it also covers the negotiation, conclusion and execution of the terms of the contracts.

If a business earns commission by securing buyers for products or by securing suppliers of products required by customers, the activity which gives rise to the commission income is the arrangement of the business to be transacted between the principals.

The source of the income is the place where the activities are performed. If such activities are performed in Hong Kong, the income has a source in Hong Kong. Consequently, if a Hong Kong company’s trading or business activities are based outside Hong Kong, say in China, USA, Europe etc. no income tax will be levied in Hong Kong. This makes Hong Kong an extremely cost- effective tax planning vehicle for trading.

SETTING UP A HONG KONG COMPANY PART TWO: Requirements For Hong Kong Companies

requirements

With all the benefits you have with establishing a Hong Kong company, there are also a few requirements to follow.

All Hong Kong Companies are required to keep accounting records of the following:

a) All sums of money received and expended, and the matters in respect of which the receipts and expenditure take place

b) sales and purchase orders

c) all assets and liabilities.
The accounting records must be to GAAP international standards and contain the information necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

设立香港公司第三部分:税务

(图片)
什么时候需要交税?
 
香港利得税仅就在香港经营的行业、专业或业务所产生的利润征收。
(这意味着公司在香港经营业务,但从其他地方获取利润,无需就这些利润在香港纳税)
税率是多少?
源自香港的收入目前的税率为 16.5%。
在香港,资本收益、股息和赚取的利息无需缴税。
利润的所在地是如何确定的?
决定货物贸易利润所在地的因素一般是买卖合同的签订地。
注: “生效” 一词不仅指合同在法律上执行的地方,还包括合同条款的谈判、订立和执行。
如果企业通过确保产品的买家或通过确保客户所需产品的供应商来赚取佣金,则产生佣金收入的活动是  委托人之间交易的业务安排。
收入来源是开展活动的地方。如果该等活动在香港进行,则收入来源在香港。因此,如果一家香港公司的贸易或业务活动位于香港以外地区,例如中国、美国、欧洲等,则不会在香港征收所得税。这使得香港成为极具成本效益的贸易税收筹划工具。
