Bank Account Opening
Hong Kong bank account opening is not that easy as before. However, we still have successful cases in this regard. Before you can open an account with a particular bank, it is important to be aware of what your banking needs are, so that you can match those needs with what each bank offers.
General requirements on bank account opening in HK:
1. Basic information of the HK company (relevant materials need to be notarized);
2. Shareholders/directors’ address proof;
3. Business plan;
4. Business proof (for the NewCo, the financial proof of the associated companies is also acceptable, such as purchase invoice, business orders, financial statement, etc).
Processing Time: 2-3 months.
Annual Return/ Annual Renewal
An Annual Return is a return, in a specified form, containing the particulars of the company such as the address of the registered office, shareholders, directors, secretary, etc. As per Hong Kong company law, every company formed in Hong Kong, must file a Tax Return (it’s also called Profits Tax Return in Hong Kong) along with its audited accounts on an annual basis with the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong (“IRD”). For the newly incorporated companies, the notification is generally sent on the 18th month of the incorporation date. Companies must file their Tax Return within one month from the date of notification. Companies can request for an extension, if needed. (Note: You may incur a payment of penalty or even prosecution, if you fail to submit your tax return by the due date.)
Processing Time: 5-7 working days
Tax Filing
Individuals Tax Returns for 2016/17 have been issued on 2 May 2017. Taxpayers are required to complete and send the tax return back to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) within 1 month from the date of issue of the return (i.e. on or before 2 June 2017). For sole-proprietors of unincorporated businesses, the deadline for submission is extended to 2 August 2017. An extension of 1 month will be given automatically if the return is filed electronically.
Consequences of not filing tax return on time is as follows:
If you do not file your tax return on time, you may be required to pay a penalty, or even prosecuted. A further possible consequence is that you may be required to pay more tax. This is because without your furnishing the relevant details, the Assessor will issue an estimated assessment and demand for tax without granting your allowance entitlements and deductions in respect of contributions to Mandatory Provident Funds, approved charitable donations, expenses of self-education and home loan interest etc.
