25 April 2023 A closer look at funds and carried interests, from legal to tax and audit

Mar 25, 2023

The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui said, "The tax concession regime for carried interest would attract more private equity funds to operate and be managed in Hong Kong, thus boosting more investment management and related activities, which will bring business opportunities to various professional services and economic benefits to Hong Kong."

Under the carried interest exemption regime, upon meeting the relevant conditions, the carried interest received would be eligible for a 0% Hong Kong profits tax rate. In order to apply the regime, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) also issued relevant guidelines and set out requirements regarding the auditors’ report for assisting the HKMA in determining the issuance of certification of funds for carried interest tax concession.

In this webinar, we would share with you the well-rounded view of funds and carried interests in Hong Kong, from legal, tax to audit perspectives.
