This amount includes all mandatory annual fees: secretarial services, providing registered address in Hong Kong ("virtual address"), business registration fee, annual report filing fee, miscellaneous office and post expenses.

Accounting fees

There will also be costs for accounting and audit for Hong Kong company.

There are two popular options. The first one is to file "Nil" tax return (that is to declare that the company has not commenced any business). Although we don't recommend this method (because if a company do business it should make its accounts and audit), but this option is quite popular, because it helps save on accounting costs. If the company really didn't commence any business, in this case only filing Nil tax returns is required, not annually, just once in 3-4 years. The cost of services of our company for filing Nil tax return is US$150 (Profits Tax Return) once in 3-4 years, plus US$80  (Employer's Return) once in every few years.

And the second option (normal one) is in accordance with law to make accounting and pass accounts through audit each year. This way is more expensive, but the company will have all accounts and audits in order (accounts of company could be requested by some European contractors or banks / insurance companies etc.). In a situation when no business is conducted in Hong Kong (that is no office and staff in Hong Kong, no goods sold in Hong Kong, etc.) there will be no tax at all.
