Description

Please be reminded that this is an e-seminar which can be accessed anytime to obtain the CPD hours.

As we enter into the third quarter of 2023, EY tax professionals are delighted to provide sharing on the major tax and legal developments in recent months, topics include:

1) New administrative practice on Hong Kong certificates of resident – Insights from Mainland China and Hong Kong tax perspectives

On 8 June 2023, the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) announced on its website that it will now issue certificates of “resident of Hong Kong” based on the plain definition of the term as defined in a comprehensive avoidance of double taxation arrangement.

In this webinar, the speakers will cover details of the new administrative practice and share insights on the new arrangement from both mainland China and Hong Kong tax perspectives.

2) Proposed company re-domiciliation regime in Hong Kong

In the 2023/24 Budget, the Financial Secretary announced to introduce a company re-domiciliation regime to facilitate non-Hong Kong companies to re-domicile to Hong Kong, subsequent to the launch of re-domiciliation mechanisms for open-ended fund companies and limited partnership funds in 2021. A public consultation was conducted in March to May 2023 to collect stakeholders’ comments on the key features of the proposed regime. Under the proposed regime, re-domiciled company would have the same rights and obligations as any other Hong Kong incorporated company.

In this webinar, the speakers will introduce background and details of the proposed re-domiciliation regime for non-Hong Kong companies to re-domicile to Hong Kong, explore key issues to be considered in re-domiciling in Hong Kong, and discuss the potential tax implications associated with the proposed re-domiciliation regime.

No CPD hours will be granted if you have already attended the live webinar on 18 September 2023.
