Overview

Hong Kong's FSIE regime can apply to specified foreign-sourced income received in Hong Kong by multinational enterprise entities, subject to exemptions and economic-substance or participation conditions.

Coutts Consultants coordinates hong kong foreign-sourced income exemption review as a defined Hong Kong professional-services engagement. We establish the client's commercial objective and review MNE status, income type, receipt in Hong Kong, economic substance, participation exemption, nexus, disposal gains and records.

Hong Kong combines Companies Registry requirements with Inland Revenue Department tax administration and, where relevant, Immigration Department, SFC, HKMA, Customs and sector-specific regulation. The engagement is scoped around the actual business rather than a generic package. We prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the appropriate authority, financial institution or Hong Kong specialist.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals, and all registrations, licences, visas and bank accounts remain subject to the competent authority or provider.
