Bookkeeping in Hong Kong

When you need an accountant in Hong Kong

Hong Kong has one of the most tax-efficient systems in the world, but it requires a mandatory annual audit. An accountant is needed for: audit, profit tax, and structuring with mainland China.

Price reference: bookkeeping for an HK company — $150–400/mo plus annual audit. Initial consultation with SVOY accountants — free.

What matters specifically for Russian speakers from the CIS

• Territorial principle. Profits from sources outside Hong Kong can be declared as offshore and exempt from tax — if structured correctly. This is the key advantage.
• No VAT, no capital gains tax, no dividend tax.
• Banking is a bottleneck for Russians; transactions go through mainland accounts or payment systems, plus USDT and international transfers.
• CIS documents. Apostille and translation — remotely.

Taxes

• corporate tax — 16.5% (8.25% on the first HK$2 million);
• mandatory annual audit for all companies;
• offshore profit status must be substantiated with documentation.

How to choose

• hire an accountant/auditor with experience in offshore claims and trade with China;
• plan your audit in advance;
• a Russian-speaking specialist will reduce the risks.
