Setting up a UK property company - tax exposure in HK?



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by spannermonkey 11 yrs ago
As the titles states, Im looking to set up a company in the UK. The company will earn an income from property trading.

Before I call my accountant, is anyone in a similar situation, whereby they live in HK, but have additional income being generated in the UK?


I have a 'regular' job here in HK and the UK business will be a Venture and any profits will stay in the UK. Im PR in HK, but am a UK resident.


What will my tax exposure be? Any impact on my regular job income in HK?

thanks

Why set up a company?


It is just extra expense, and administration

UK tax benefits.

HK company is far better and VAT is reclaimable. As all income appears to be UK related, there is no impact on HK tax.


Further benefit could arise with a Hong Kong based pension owning the HK company; both UK estate planning and potential capital gain deferral is possible.

Thanks Weir & Assoc'.

To clarify, the UK company trades in UK property only. As HK and the UK have the Joint Taxation Agreement, I did not know if any of the income the Company would earn in the UK (of which I am a director, but would not take any income from) could increase my exposure here in HK.
