Tax applies mainly to Hong Kong-sourced profits, with a two-tier rate from 8.25% on the first HK$2m and no GST, VAT or capital gains tax.

Gateway to China and Asia

World-class banking, a strategic location and free capital flows make it the natural hub for trade with mainland China and across Asia.

Common law and global trust

An independent, English-language common-law system and respected regulators give banks and investors confidence in a Hong Kong company.
