FAQ

Common questions

What is the corporate tax rate in Hong Kong? +
Hong Kong operates a two-tiered profits tax regime. The first 2 million HKD of assessable profits is taxed at 8.25%, and any profits above that are taxed at 16.5%.
Do I need a physical office space in Hong Kong? +
No, you do not need to lease a physical office. However, every Hong Kong company must have a local Registered Office Address (which we provide) to receive official government correspondence.
What is the Territorial Tax System? +
Hong Kong only taxes profits derived from a trade, profession, or business carried out in Hong Kong. Profits sourced entirely outside of Hong Kong are generally exempt from Profits Tax (0%).
Does a Hong Kong company help with getting a visa? +
Yes. By establishing a genuine business, founders can apply for an Employment (Investment) Visa, enabling them to obtain a Hong Kong ID (HKID). We provide full support for this process.
How long does company incorporation take? +
With SetupHero, Hong Kong company registration typically takes just 1 to 3 working days once all KYC and due diligence documents are verified and submitted to the Companies Registry.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Hong Kong company? +
Absolutely. Hong Kong allows 100% foreign ownership of a Limited Company. You do not need a local resident director or shareholder, though you do require a local Company Secretary.
What ongoing compliance is required after incorporation? +
You must renew your Business Registration Certificate (BRC) annually, file an Annual Return (NAR1) with the Companies Registry, file Employer's Returns, and submit audited financial statements to the IRD.
Do you help with opening a corporate bank account? +
Yes. We partner with leading financial institutions in Hong Kong like HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Bank of China, as well as digital EMI options, to fast-track your corporate account application.
What is the minimum paid-up capital for a HK company? +
There is no statutory minimum share capital required by law in Hong Kong. A standard company can be incorporated with an initial share capital of just 1 HKD.
