I Am Looking Forward To My Company’s First Year Anniversary! Is There Anything I Should Do?

Remember! It is mandatory for companies to prepare and maintain accounts. Accounts must be audited annually by Certified Public Accountants in Hong Kong. The audited accounts together with tax return must be filed annually with the Inland Revenue Department.

Every company is required to file annual returns with the Companies Registry and pay the annual registration fee.

The Business Registration Certificate should be renewed, one month before expiry on an annual basis or once every three years, as the case may be.

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) should be held annually every calendar year. The AGM should be held within 18 months of the date of incorporation, after which no more than 15 months can elapse between one AGM and the next.

A written resolution in lieu of Annual General Meeting is permissible.
