Hello,

we would like to remind you all your yearly requirements which are necessary to follow up once you set up company in Hong Kong.
This check list is updated of The new Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong). The New companies ordinance  has commenced operation on 3 March 2014.

•Annual return (includes list of officers & directors) must be filed within 42 days of the anniversary of initial registration date, along with a $25 USD fee. We remind you of this requirement by email 1-2 months before due date.

•Inland Revenue Department (IRD) tax filing for newly incorporated companies falls due 18 months after the incorporation date. Thereafter, the tax authority notifies companies every April 1, who must then file within 30 days.

•Initial annual audit must be filed within 18 months after incorporation date, unless the company has unlimited liability.

•An Annual General Meeting (AGM) must be held within 18 months of incorporation, at a time and place the directors announce.

•The Business Registration Certificate must be renewed one to three years post-incorporation, depending on the Certificate issued. Renewal must be one month before expiration. We will remind you of this requirement by email 1-2 months before the due date.
