Topic: Hong Kong |
Foreign and salary tax |
I am considering setting up a company in Hong Kong for software development services. I am a resident of Brazil and live here. I would be the only shareholder and director. All clients would be outside HK and I will hire contractors in Brazil and China.
Am I right that my company would not pay income tax in HK as all profit is foreign sourced? Even if above HKD 200,00 a year?
If I pay a salary to myself as a director, would that be subject to salary tax?
What about my contractors' fees?
Thank you for your advice. Professional advice is accepted. If your proposal sounds interesting, I will get in touch and we can do a paid consultation to get into more detail.

I hold UK passport but resident in Rep of Ireland and make a tax return. I have been offered a post by a Hong Kong company, but my duties will be performed outside Hong Kong. Remuneration will be paid in Hong Kong, how can I minimise income tax both in Hong Kong and Ireland as there is no DTA between Hong Kong and Ireland.

Topic: Hong Kong |
Hong Kong, China - tax ??? |
A simple plan:
1. I open a Hong Kong based Ltd. company
2. I'm a Polish employed by this HK Ltd. company
3. I receive letters of invitation from my suppliers in China and obtain a business visa on a regular basis.
4. I have an appartment in China and stay on my business visa there conducting all my business: Find EU customers for my Chinese suppliers; add my commision; reinvoice through Hong Kong to keep my supplier anonymous.
Is it legal ? Where do I have to pay tax ? Where can I apply for tax exemption?
I'm green as far as tax law is concerned. Please help me.

Taxes on HK holding company owned by foreigners |
If there 5 partners (3 individuals - 1 each from UK, US and Pakistan, and two private limited companies - i from UK and 1 from Pakistan) that desire to create a holding company in HK for the sole purpose of holding their ordinary shares in a UAE (tax free) joint venture company:
1- What would be the tax implications on the dividends received by the HK holding company?
2- Would there be any tax/charges on these dividends paid out to shareholders who are non-HK individuals and entities?
3- Can these individuals/entities open and operate their personal accounts in HK? Any tax/charges/conditions on that?
4- Any alternates?
We know we are asking too much, but would be grateful for answers as it would help us select our consultant or rep. Thanks
