Profits tax is payable by every company carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong on profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong from that trade, profession or business. Profits which have a foreign source (often termed "offshore profits") are thus generally beyond the territorial scope of Hong Kong's taxation system, including those derived by locally incorporated companies.
The Group Tax Review is a process that is designed to assist you in identifying the key domestic and international tax attributes of your corporate group with a view to reducing potential tax risks and exposures, minimising tax costs and creating value through the development and implementation of relevant tax management solutions. It also helps you in formulating effective strategies for optimising your corporate group's overall tax position.
