Dezan Shira & Associates have maintained an office in Hong Kong since 1992 and provide local corporate formation, trademark, and tax advise to multinational clients setting up Hong Kong companies. Often these are used as holding companies for China or for other Asian investments. We also provide offshore corporate formation in other offshore jurisdictions such as Singapore, Mauritius, Macau and so on in addition to Hong Kong corporate secretarial and nominee services. We also service clients accounting, annual returns and local audit.
Hong Kong is considered a separate jurisdiction than mainland China and enjoys a distinct legal and tax system separated from mainland China, and is governed by its own courts based on the English legal system. The ultimate destination for legal rulings however now lies in Beijing, although the territory continues to enjoy a large degree of self autonomy. Hong Kong is a major international financial center and is the main service destination for mainland Chinese enterprises wishing to raise and gain access to international funds.
