Hong Kong corporate services for groups that also operate in China

Company registration, secretarial work, and accounting from one practice—so filings, books, and tax tell the same story.

What we do

Hong Kong company formation and accounting

We work with startups, SMEs, and international groups that use Hong Kong as a holding or trading layer—then add a Mainland WFOE when they need an onshore operating company.

Hong Kong practice

Incorporation, company secretary, books, and IRD filings from one calendar.

China WFOE support

Onshore setup treated as a project: city, scope, capital, chops, and banking.

One set of facts

The annual return, the accounts, and the tax computation should tell the same story.

How we work

The same facts, on every filing

  1. 01

    One set of facts across the annual return, the accounts, and the tax computation

  2. 02

    Hong Kong territorial tax treated as fact-sensitive, not as a slogan

  3. 03

    China WFOE setup treated as a project, not a form

  4. 04

    Clear written engagement terms; we say when a matter needs specialist counsel

Client notes

What clients tell us

  • “[Placeholder] They kept the Hong Kong filings, the books, and the profits tax return on the same facts—so we were not explaining three different stories to the IRD.”

    Finance director

    European trading group with a Hong Kong company

  • “[Placeholder] The WFOE work was treated as a project, not a form. City, scope, and capital were settled before anyone booked a chop appointment.”

    Operations lead

    Manufacturer setting up a China WFOE via a Hong Kong parent

  • “[Placeholder] Company secretary and tax sat with the same practice. Annual return, accounts, and employer filings arrived on one calendar.”

    Founder

    SME using Hong Kong as a regional holding company

Hong Kong tax

Hong Kong tax in brief

Hong Kong taxes on a territorial basis. Income with a Hong Kong source is generally within the net. Many other countries tax worldwide income regardless of where it arises.

There are three main heads of charge: profits tax on business profits, salaries tax on employment income, and property tax on rental income from Hong Kong property. The Inland Revenue Ordinance, case law, and IRD practice notes (DIPNs) apply.

Established taxpayers typically receive returns around 1 April and must file with supporting documents within the stated period. A new company is often issued its first profits tax return after about 18 months from commencement. After assessment, the IRD issues a demand note with a payment deadline. See annual tax filing for how we handle the cycle.
