Hong Kong Companies

Hong Kong (which comprises a group of islands as well as part of the mainland on the southeast coast of China) is a former British colony which was officially handed over to the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in 1997. It is now a “Special Administrative Region” of the PRC. Hong Kong, despite a relatively small population of 7 million, is annually ranked as one of the top jurisdictions in the World Bank’s “Doing Business” guide and is the 5th largest financial centre in the world. It also has the largest stock exchange in Asia outside of Japan.

  1. Sound Legal System: Hong Kong boasts a Common Law Legal (& British style court) system based on English Common Law
  2. Access to China: Hong Kong has 2 official Languages, Chinese and English, and is the major gateway for inward investment into China
  3. Political Stability Hong Kong elects its own legislature and is considered very stable politically
  4. Tax Free: Hong Kong does not tax its companies on income or profits earned offshore
  5. Ownership Privacy: Hong Kong has not signed any Tax Information Exchange Agreements with any major player
