Digital Nomad Tax Specialist

Whether you are basing yourself in HK temporarily or exploring residency, our CPAs help you understand when HK salaries tax applies, how to structure your affairs efficiently, and what IRD expects from location-independent earners.

⚠️

⚠ Warning: HK Tax Residency Is Not Passport-Based

Hong Kong taxes based on where services are performed, not nationality or visa status. Spending significant time working in HK — even without a work visa — can create a salaries tax liability. The IRD looks at the substance of your activities, not your passport.

よくあるお悩み

以下の税務問題でお困りではありませんか？

When Does HK Tax Apply?

The "60-day rule" and source-of-income test determine whether short stays create a tax liability — most nomads do not understand the threshold.

⚠ Risk: Unknowing breach → back-tax + surcharge interest

Double Taxation Risk

Earning income taxed in your home country while physically in HK can result in double taxation if treaty protections are not correctly claimed.

⚠ Risk: Paying tax twice on the same income

Invoicing Structure

Whether you invoice as an individual or through a company significantly affects your HK tax exposure and compliance obligations.

⚠ Risk: Wrong structure → higher effective tax rate

IRD Registration Requirements

Self-employed nomads operating in HK must register as sole proprietors and file profits tax returns, not salaries tax returns.

⚠ Risk: Wrong return type → penalties and reassessment

Possibly. The 60-day exemption under s.8(1A)(b) excludes income from days worked outside HK, but if you are working IN HK for those 60+ days, the income earned during that period is HK-sourced and taxable. The exemption is about WHERE you work, not HOW LONG you stay.
The location of your clients is irrelevant — what matters is where YOU perform the services. If you are sitting in a HK cafe invoicing overseas clients, that income is HK-sourced and taxable, whether under salaries tax or profits tax depending on your employment status.
This depends on your income level and growth plans. At lower incomes, sole proprietorship profits tax (progressive to 15%) is similar to salaries tax. Above HKD 2M profit, a HK company taxed at 8.25% on the first HKD 2M is more efficient. We model both options for you.
Not specifically, but HK has several immigration routes suitable for nomads: the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS), Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), and Investment as Entrepreneurs visa. Each has different tax implications which we can advise on.
Seek professional advice immediately. Most tax authorities treat voluntary disclosure far more leniently than enforcement-triggered compliance. We assess your obligations across jurisdictions and help you regularise your position with minimum penalties.
