Dr. Danny Po
Senior Advisor, Deloitte

(Course Code : 052025)


Session 1: Practical experience in applying for offshore exemption from Hong Kong profits tax of international trading business
In general, if profits of international trading business are not arising in or derived from Hong Kong, the said profits should be exempt from Hong Kong profits tax.  However, the granting of which would be subject to very strict scrutiny by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department.  The speaker will share his experience learned from applications lodged in recent years.

Session 2: A study of conventional tax treaty provisions of permanent establishment (PE)
Many Hong Kong taxpayers fall in the trap of creating taxable presence in foreign countries unknowingly. For countries or regions which Hong Kong has entered into tax treaties, there are provisions bestowing PE protection.  The speaker will study these provisions and suggest some tips for applying the PE protection.

Session 3: The chargeability of Hong Kong salaries tax for foreign nationals working in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong SAR Government has been desperately attracting talents to come to work in Hong Kong.  One of the key attractive factors of the city is the low tax regime.  Having said that, foreign nationals may be subject to Hong Kong salaries tax once they have started to work in Hong Kong even though they may not have obtained a resident status in Hong Kong.  The speaker will highlight different scenarios whereby foreign nationals who have come to work in Hong Kong may be subject to Hong Kong salaries tax.
