Frequently Asked Questions
Obtain a company registry extract from the Hong Kong Companies Registry and have it apostilled for use abroad; the receiving lawyer or firm typically handles any required translation. Best practice is to provide the plain extract first (without apostille) for the foreign counterparty to review, then apostille it once the content is confirmed correct.
Tax exemption
Offshore companies conduct business outside of their jurisdiction. In the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as long as the offshore company's income is sourced from outside the region, it is not required to pay corporate income tax.
