General information
Hong Kong is an island in the South East part of Asia, close to Taiwan.
Until 1997, Hong Kong was under British administration.
In July 1997, Hong Kong was handed over to China by the United Kingdom.
The population of Hong Kong is approximately 7 million. Hong Kong is a unique location for the incorporation of companies and for international business since its tax system is based on source and not on residence.
Hong Kong has become the first place in terms of trading with the rest of Asia and also on a worldwide point of view and its tax system offers different advantages. Indeed, as long as a Hong Kong company does not conduct any business in Hong Kong, and does not generate any incomes from Hong Kong-based sources, the company will not be taxable in Hong Kong. Incorporation of a Hong Kong company can usually be processed same day.
