GREATER TAX CLARITY STARTS WITH THE FACTS

Moving to Hong Kong: your tax and residency guide

Build your new life in Hong Kong with a clearer view of your tax position. We help you connect a compliant departure from your current country with the residence, income and evidence questions in your next one.

A residence permit does not by itself settle tax residency or end tax obligations elsewhere. Check both sides of the move before relying on a tax benefit.

Make your departure and your arrival work together.

We help you prepare the facts and questions needed to assess your departure and your position in Hong Kong. A visa, residence permit or local registration alone does not establish that you qualify for a particular tax treatment. Your former country’s rules, income sources and any applicable treaty also need review.

Start with your circumstances.

Use these questions to organise the information an adviser may need. They do not determine your eligibility or tax position.

Which visa fits my work or business plans?

Write down your current arrangements, intended changes and the dates involved. Keep a record of assumptions that still need checking.

What should I check about where my income is sourced?

List relevant assets, documents and people involved. Bring uncertainties into the open before committing to a decision.

What identity, tax and housing arrangements should I prepare?

Record the questions that remain unresolved. Check the current official requirements and seek an individual assessment where needed.

Build a useful record of the move.

A clear file helps you explain your circumstances consistently.

Before you move

Record your route, dates, household arrangements and the decisions that cannot wait. Identify documents that take time to obtain.

As plans change

Update your timeline and note what changed. Save the records supporting major decisions, rather than relying on memory later.

When you need advice

Share the relevant facts and your outstanding questions. Confirm the scope of any professional work before commissioning it.
