Taxation has gained increasing weight in Hong Kong’s policy agenda, as reflected in recent Policy Addresses and Budgets. Seven tax-related bills have already been introduced in the first half of 2026, with more expected later this year. These legislative measures span from implementing international compliance measures and launching new tax incentives to actively reviewing certain existing preferential regimes for further enhancement.

In this webinar, our speakers from PwC are pleased to share these latest developments.
