In today’s blog we will look at the basic requirements for the preparation of financial statements, audit and filing tax reports in Hong Kong.

First of all, all companies in Hong Kong, regardless of whether they conduct their activities in Hong Kong or abroad, must file tax returns. Tax statements are submitted as a completed and signed tax return (Profits Tax Return). Tax return is filed together with the financial report and the auditor’s report.

All companies registered in Hong Kong are required to submit an annual report on the activities of the company. There are different types of reports:

• Annual Return. This report should include the legal address of the company, information on partners and on the managers of a company.

• Financial Accounts, which must provide information about the financial transactions.

• Dormant Accounts, also called the “sleeping” because such statements must be submitted if the company didn’t operate actively.
