Shares in a Hong Kong offshore company formation
With a Hong Kong offshore company registration, the standard authorised share capital is HK$ 1,000. Shares must be expressed in a fixed amount but may be expressed in other currencies. Multiple currency share capital is also permitted.
The minimum issued capital is one share of par value and there is no limitation on the amount of authorised or issued share capital. Ordinary shares, redeemable shares, preference shares and shares with/without voting rights are all permitted, although Hong Kong does not permit no par value shares.
On incorporation and subsequent increase of any amount of the authorised capital, capital duty at a rate of 0.1 per cent of the authorised capital is payable to the government.

Tax benefits of a Hong Kong offshore company formation
Globally renowned for its tax benefits, Hong Kong has a 16.5 per cent tax rate for companies, a 15 per cent tax rate for unincorporated businesses and a 2 to 17 per cent tax rate for salaries.
Tax liability of a Hong Kong offshore company
In Hong Kong, the government only taxes salaries, business profits and income from property rental. There is no capital gains, dividends, inheritance or interest earned tax.
One of the best benefits of a Hong Kong offshore company registration is if the company conducts business in Hong Kong but achieves its profits in another country, there is no requirement to pay Hong Kong tax on those profits. This is because Hong Kong taxes on a territorial basis – and is one of the few jurisdictions in the world that does this. Profits earned from a trade, business or profession conducted in Hong Kong are taxed at 16.5 per cent.
To determine the source of profits, the main factor used is the location of where the contracts for sale or purchase are “effected”, which covers where the terms of contracts are legally negotiated, executed and concluded.
Withholding tax is applicable to certain sums, such as royalties paid/payable to non-residents for use of or right to use intellectual property. Payers who claim deduction for the use of the intellectual property against assessable income are required to withhold a prescribed percentage from the payment while that recipient is not subject to Hong Kong profits tax. The prescribed percentage is 4.95 per cent on the gross payment if the payer and the recipient are not related, but 16.5 per cent if the payer and recipient are related. The recipients of the royalties who are tax residents of Thailand, Belgium or Luxembourg enjoy the respective treaty rates.
Double taxation agreements with a Hong Kong offshore company formation
Businesses operating in Hong Kong generally do not have problems with double taxation of income. Hong Kong has comprehensive double tax agreements with Thailand and Belgium to relieve income taxation, including taxation on interest, dividends and royalties. It also offers double taxation relief of shipping and airline income with a number of jurisdictions and for income that is also taxable in Hong Kong, the Inland Revenue Department allows a deduction for foreign tax paid on a turnover basis. Double tax agreements with Netherlands, Hungary, Brunei, Kuwait and Indonesia will become effective from 1st April 2011 to relieve the applicable double taxation on various incomes.
