Annual cost of maintaining a Hong Kong company:

1. Annual Renewal

Every company is required to file statutory returns with the Registrar of Companies within the time periods prescribed in the Companies Ordinance and pay Business Registration fee and levy under the Business Registration Ordinance. It is the responsibilities of the company and its directors and officers to ensure compliance with the statutory obligations.

The annual retainer fee is RMB 10,000. This fee includes:
- provision of statutory required HK company secretary and registered office address
- business registration fee
- preparing and filing of annual return
- preparing of annual general meeting
- maintenance of proper books and record

Other corporate services such as change of directors and transfer of shares, etc., will be charged on top of the annual retainer fee and quotation would be provided separately.

2. Annual Audit

a Hong Kong company:

- is required to present audited accounts to the members at the Annual General Meeting
- will receive the 1st Profits Tax Return from the Inland Revenue Department after 18 months from the date of incorporation
- has to file the Return supported by audited accounts to the Inland Revenue Department.

Since the audit is to be done annually by a Certified Public Accountancy firm, the audit fees should also be considered as part of the total annual cost to maintain a Hong Kong company. The audit fees will depend on the complexity of work and volume of transactions carried in the company per annum. PtC has a associated local CPA firm that can undertake the aforesaid audit for you. Please keep all the bank statements, deposit receipts, invoices, contracts etc. as these must be provided to the accountant and auditor to carry out their work.
