To register a Hong Kong company, you only need to provide the following information:
1, company name: the Chinese and English name of the company (it must be in English, with Chinese ending with "LIMITED" and English ending with "Limited").
2. Certificates of directors and shareholders: the identity certificates of registered directors and shareholders of the company (scanned or clear photos, the front and back of domestic identity cards, and the personal information page of foreign passports);
3. Personal permanent address: generally the address shown on the ID card. If you are a passport or a foreigner, please provide the personal permanent addresses of directors and shareholders, not the email address or industrial zone address;
4. The registered capital of the company is 1W without capital verification;
5. Business nature of the company: that is, the business scope of the company, with 28 characters in Chinese and 60 characters in English, including punctuation and spaces, only one language can be selected.
How to register a Hong Kong company and the time required:
1, choose the expedited registration method (it only takes 1 working day to complete)
2. Register a brand-new Hong Kong Limited Company (it only takes 5-6 working days to complete).
3. It takes about 2 working days to buy a ready-made Hong Kong company (that is, a shell company).
The rest:
1, as long as the company's Chinese and English names are confirmed, an offshore company can be registered in Hong Kong (according to the Hong Kong Company Management Ordinance: a newly registered Hong Kong company cannot contain any words that may mislead the company to have any relationship with the government unless it has gone through the special permission examination and approval procedures).
2. The Hong Kong Company Management Ordinance does not stipulate that the business scope of offshore companies in Hong Kong must be specified, so offshore companies registered in Hong Kong can engage in most businesses (except banking, insurance, real estate and other businesses that require special permission).
3。 The basic tax of offshore companies in Hong Kong is only the Hong Kong corporate profits tax, which is only paid when the Hong Kong companies make profits. The first HK$ 2 million profits are only levied at the profit tax rate of 8.25%. Profits not generated in Hong Kong by offshore companies in Hong Kong can be exempted from tax. Hong Kong companies do not have to follow the complicated tax filing schedule of monthly, quarterly and annual reports. Hong Kong companies are not required to file tax returns until they reach 18 months in the first year of establishment, and then file tax returns every 12 months.
4。 Offshore companies in Hong Kong can apply for local bank accounts in Hong Kong. An account opened in a Hong Kong bank can accept foreign exchange in any currency. There is no control over foreign exchange receipt and payment, and it is also very convenient to settle and exchange foreign exchange. As long as the funds are not from countries and regions that are at war or sanctioned, foreign exchange can be received and paid normally.
5。 An offshore company registered in Hong Kong does not have to operate in Hong Kong. As an important port in Southeast Asia and overseas markets, Hong Kong attracts global merchants and provides a perfect development platform for enterprises to expand the international market. And the business or investment is in the mainland or abroad, Hong Kong offshore companies can still be used for commercial activities, and Hong Kong offshore companies are only used as holding or registered addresses. A perfect legal protection system can fully protect your interests.
Hong Kong companies enter normal operation after registration, and face normal maintenance business such as annual review of Hong Kong companies every year. These businesses happen every year, and fines of different amounts will be incurred if they are overdue. In serious cases, they will be investigated for criminal responsibility by the Hong Kong Government.
So we need a professional and responsible Hong Kong secretarial company to remind you of the annual review of Hong Kong companies on time.
The most important point is the annual audit and tax return of Hong Kong companies. Hong Kong is a free market and upholds the rule of law. There are clear provisions on the tax rules and forms of Hong Kong companies under its jurisdiction, and there are multiple supervision mechanisms.
This requires professional certified public accountants in Hong Kong to make overall tax planning, make maximum use of Hong Kong's preferential tax conditions and reduce taxes reasonably. A professional Hong Kong secretarial company (our management consultant) has a registered accountant in Hong Kong, who can provide professional and responsible tax planning services for customers.
The above answers are for your reference and hope to help you.
