All the limited companies have to register with the Companies Registry, and have to obtain Business Registration Certificate within one month of commencement of operation. Limited companies incorporated in Hong Kong are regulated by the Companies Registry in Hong Kong. In accordance with the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 32), every limited company has to lodge its detailed particulars with Companies Registry for the public inspection.
All limited companies shall appoint a company secretary to implement and comply with provisions of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 32). Any contravention to the Companies Ordinance may result in serious consequences.
Our company can incorporate private limited company in Hong Kong. The incorporation of which is by registration under the Companies Ordinance and must therefore comply a number of formalities.
Company has to furnish tax return with IRD every year. If a company cannot provide audited report and tax return within a stated period of time, IRD can assess the tax liability of the company by estimation. In order to avoid excess tax liabilities, directors should prepare the accounts of the company as soon as possible and hand to the auditor for preparation of audit report. A newly incorporated company can prepare its first audit report within 18 months of its incorporation. If you receive the tax return from IRD, you should inform us or your auditor at once.
A company's first AGM must be held within 18 months of incorporation. Unless the Registrar of Companies agrees in writing to an extension in a particular case, the period between annual general meetings must not exceed 15 months.
Every person carrying on a business or profession in Hong Kong is required to keep sufficient records in English or Chinese to enable the assessable profits of such business or profession to be readily ascertained.

Every company files a copy of its Memorandum and Articles of Association, or "M&A" with the Registrar of Companies upon incorporation. These documents can be extremely brief or very detailed, depends on the law in the particular jurisdiction and on the practices of the particular incorporation agent. These documents lay out all the general information about the company. Usually these documents describe the type of company, its address, operational objects, authorised capital, the procedure for appointing and dismissing directors and officers and their scope of competence and responsibility, the procedure of share allocation, how shareholder's meetings are called and the competence of such meetings and how it should be executed, the procedures of keeping accounts, liquidation and similar administrative matters that are characteristic to any corporate entity.
 Taxation.
Hong Kong is not an offshore center in the traditional sense of the word but rather a territory which offers a non-discriminatory low tax regime governed by the "territorial principle" under which only income arising in or derived from Hong Kong is taxable in the jurisdiction. As such its attraction lies not in the tight secrecy and minimal corporate disclosure and administrative requirements which characterize a number of offshore common-law island jurisdictions but rather in low tax rates, generous tax deductible allowances, a policy of only taxing income sourced from within the jurisdiction and the complete absence of capital gains taxes, withholding taxes, interest taxes, sales tax & VAT.
- Shareholders.
The minimum number of shareholders for Hong Kong private company is one. Coddan will provide Hong Kong (HK) nominee shareholders if requested. Declarations of Trust will be provided to the real owners providing beneficial ownership of company. There is no residency or nationality requirements.
- Authorised And Issued Share Capital.
Shares must be expressed in a fixed amount. "No par value" or "bearer" shares are not permitted. While it is usual for the share capital to be expressed in Hong Kong dollars, it can be expressed in any currency. A multiple currency share capital is also permissible. The amount of share capital must be stated together with the par value of the shares, e.g. ordinary (common), preferred, non-voting, voting, etc. Capitalization in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars is permitted. Unless otherwise instructed, we will organize the company with 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each, of which 2 ordinary shares will be issued.
- Directors.
Minimum of one director must be appointed. A corporation is permitted to act as Director of a private company and there is no residency or nationality requirements. It is statutory requirement that a Company Secretary be appointed who, if a natural person - must be ordinarily resident in Hong Kong or if a corporate body, must have its registered office in Hong Kong.
- Reporting Requirements.
A company must apply for Business Incorporation within one month of incorporation and maintain its organisation annually with the required fees. Renewal of the Business Incorporation Certificate will be requested around two months before expiry and a penalty will be levied in the event of late payment. When payment is long overdue the Inland Revenue will begin legal action against the company. Every company is required to appoint an auditor each year at its AGM. An auditor must be qualified by virtue of the Hong Kong Professional Accountants Ordinance and completely independent of the company. In case of private company, its audited accounts must be laid before its AGM not more than nine months from its financial year-end. The company must compile audited accounts annually who prepared by a registered Hong Kong auditor. The first audited accounts must be prepared up to date within 18 months after incorporation. Coddan is able to arrange for filing "Nil" Profits Tax Return and "Nil" Employers Return if the client's company has not commenced its business in Hong Kong.
- Restrictions On Name And Activity.
