Have you heard about the new proposed business registration fees for Hong Kong companies? Announced earlier this year, the new 2021 budget proposal was recently released. And this year the Hong Kong government has announced a waiver of the business registration fees for one year.
Starting from April 1st, 2020, the new waiver of the business registration fees will be applied to all business owners as per the guidelines of the Financial Secretary. The HK government will introduce the relevant legislative amendment to the Legislative Council as soon as possible in order to measure the effect of new proposed fees. Let’s explore more about the newly proposed budget report.
Waiver of Business Registration Fees from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021
Under the section of 5A(1)(a) of the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap.310), the government has said that the new prescribed business registration fees will be reduced by a sum of $2,000. This reduction will also apply to the renewal of Business Registration certificates of existing companies after April 1st as well.
The new registration fees will only be applicable for business registration certificates from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 (“Waiver Period”).
You can refer to the IRD website for the business registration fee & levy table for details of the total amount payable in respect of a certificate.
