Under Hong Kong's Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622), a private limited liability company can be incorporated with as little as one director and one shareholder, with no residency requirements and no minimum paid-up capital beyond HKD 1. The registration process at the Hong Kong Companies Registry typically completes within 5 to 10 working days. Key advantages of setting up a Hong Kong company include:
What is the process for accounting and tax filing for a Hong Kong company?
1) Collect financial documents (bank statements, invoices, contracts, etc.); 2) Organize and categorize accounts; 3) Prepare financial statements; 4) Auditor conducts audit; 5) Issue audit report; 6) Submit to tax authority. The entire process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your business operations.
Do newly established companies need to handle bookkeeping and tax filing?
Required. You will receive your first profits tax return within 18 months after the company is incorporated and must complete the audit and submit it within 3 months. Zero declaration is required even if the company has no business activity. We recommend establishing a standardized accounting system from the date of incorporation.
Do offshore accounts require tax reporting?
Hong Kong companies with offshore income may apply for offshore tax exemption. However, proper bookkeeping and audit must be completed first, followed by an application to the Inland Revenue Department. Once approved, offshore income is exempt from profits tax. We can assist you in preparing your offshore tax exemption application documents.

Mainly required: 1) Bank statements; 2) Business contracts; 3) Purchase and sales invoices; 4) Expense receipts (rent, utilities, travel, etc.); 5) Payroll records; 6) Other financial documents. We will provide a detailed checklist to assist you in organizing and preparing these materials.
