Hong Kong tax in brief
Hong Kong taxes only profits made in Hong Kong, at two simple rates.
| Profits tax on the first HK$2 million | 8.25% |
| Profits tax above HK$2 million | 16.5% |
| VAT or sales tax | None |
| Tax on dividends paid to shareholders | None |
| Capital gains tax | None |
Profits earned outside Hong Kong can be exempt. The Inland Revenue Department decides each claim.
Also in the UK and the US
The same team registers UK limited companies and US LLCs.
Do I need to travel to Hong Kong?
No. Incorporation, identity checks and signing all happen online. Some banks ask for a visit; online business accounts do not.
Who can be a director or shareholder?
Any person aged 18 or over, of any nationality. One person can hold both roles, and a company can be a shareholder.
How much share capital is needed?
There is no minimum. Most companies issue HK$10,000 in shares, and you do not have to deposit it.
Which documents do you need?
A passport scan and a proof of address from the last three months for every director and shareholder.
How do I pay?
After we review your application, we email a secure payment link from info@eleformations.com. You can pay by card.
What happens after the first year?
The company files an annual return, audited accounts and a profits tax return. We send the renewal price in writing before the year ends.
