Introduction
Hong Kong is the world's 6th largest trading economy.
Characterised by minimum government intervention, the absence of exchange controls, and the free flow of information, capital, and talents, Hong Kong maintains a free and efficient environment for business activities and commerce.
It also enjoys one of the most tax-friendly systems in the world. Hong Kong adopts the territorial basis of taxation and does not have any turnover taxes, making it a favourable location for profit shifting and conducting re-invoicing.
Ideal for corporate and commercial practitioners, financial advisors, tax, VAT practitioners and accountants globally, this new virtual classroom seminar will offer an in-depth look at Hong Kong market and will examine some of key issues which must be addressed when trading with Hong Kong.
