EVENT DETAILS

(CODE: 220526LU-CEX)

The HKSAR Government has recently released the proposal to provide tax concession for single family offices in Hong Kong. The objective of the tax exemption is to provide tax certainty to eligible investment holding vehicles owned by ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their family members in order to attract family offices to be set up and operated in Hong Kong.  The speakers will share with us the following key features of the proposed tax regime in this webinar:

• The key requirements and structures required for Family Offices under the proposed tax regime;
• Substantial activities requirements with regards to employees and operating expenditure;
• Considerations on how common types of investments would fit into the qualifying transactions under the proposed tax regime; and
• Other practical concerns and compliance requirements to consider.
