Year-End Audit Requirements

In addition to our annual return service, we assist with the comprehensive requirements for year-end audits in Hong Kong. Companies incorporated in Hong Kong are mandated to undergo an annual audit of their financial statements by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) under the Companies Ordinance. The audit process involves:
 

• Preparation of Financial Statements: Companies must prepare financial statements in compliance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS).

• Appointment of an Auditor: An independent auditor, who is a registered CPA in Hong Kong, must be appointed to conduct the audit.

• Audit Report: The auditor reviews the financial statements and provides an audit report, which includes their opinion on the accuracy and fairness of the financial statements.

• Submission Deadlines: The audited financial statements must be presented at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and filed with the Inland Revenue Department along with the profits tax return.
   

Our team of professionals ensures that your year-end audit is conducted smoothly, adhering to all regulatory requirements and deadlines, providing you with peace of mind and allowing you to concentrate on your business operations.

Filing the Annual Tax Return

Ensuring compliance with the tax regulations includes the critical step of filing the Hong Kong annual profits tax return. Companies must file their profits tax return (PTR) with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) each year. The process includes:
 

• Tax Computation: Prepare a detailed tax computation to determine the assessable profits and the amount of tax payable.

• Completion of Tax Return: Fill out the profits tax return form accurately, ensuring all required details are included.

• Timely Submission: Submit the completed tax return form and supporting documents to the IRD by the specified deadline to avoid penalties.
   

Our experienced team assists you through every step of the tax return filing process, ensuring accuracy and compliance with all regulatory requirements. We provide detailed tax computations and ensure the timely submission of your tax return, helping you minimize your tax liabilities and avoid any potential issues with the tax authorities.
