Apply for Certificate of Tax Residency in Hong Kong (company)

What is a Certificat of Resident Status and why is it necessary to obtain one?

The matter of where to tax cross-border investments is essential and is resolved by tax treaties between countries to avoid double taxation. An individual or a company will be taxed where it is considered as a resident for the purposes of the treaty but, in Hong Kong, it is mandatory to obtain a Certificate of Resident Status (or CoR) to be considered as a resident in regard to a tax treaty.

Generally, only one CoR will be issued for each tax treaty for each year. The competent Hong Kong authority shall decide whether a CoR may be issued on the basis of the information requested from the person at the time of application.
