OIL "opinion" - HK consolidates position as favoured China gateway
Hong Kong consolidates position as favoured China
gateway - New "opinion" piece by Vistra's sister company
OIL.
A strong regulatory environment, solid local capital markets,
developed legal and commercial systems and geographical proximity
all add together to ensure Hong Kong has remained the location of
choice for China inbound and outbound corporate structures,
according to a new report released by Offshore Incorporations
Limited (OIL).
OIL's latest "Offshore 2020" report highlights the increasing
importance of double tax treaties and tax information exchange
agreements as key components underpinning Hong Kong's position as
the strategic gateway to China. The report suggests that in a
little over five years, Hong Kong could even overtake established
offshore jurisdictions such as the BVI in terms of importance in
the market for cross border structures. Other findings pointed to
the importance of Hong Kong as a favoured location for initial
public offerings, corporate trading and investment holding
companies.
