Stamp Duty in Hong Kong Can Cost More Than HK,000,000. Plan It Right.
Hong Kong's stamp duty regime is one of the most complex in Asia — with multiple overlapping duties that can add up to 30% of a property's value. A single mis-declaration of residency status or poorly timed transaction can cost HK0,000–HK,500,000 in avoidable duties. Our HKICPA advisors ensure you pay what you must — and not a cent more.

⚠ Non-HK-PR Buyers Pay an Extra 15% BSD. Declare Your Status Correctly.
Non-Hong Kong permanent residents pay BSD at 15% on top of AVD when purchasing any residential property. For a typical HKM flat, BSD alone is HK,200,000. Incorrectly declaring HK-PR status when purchasing under Scale 2 — when you own another residential property — constitutes a mis-declaration with severe penalties. Company-owned properties always pay BSD at 15% regardless of the director's residency status.
以下の税務問題でお困りではありませんか？
Residency Status Mis-Declaration
Declaring yourself a first-time buyer under Scale 2 when you or your spouse already own HK residential property triggers Scale 1 assessment with severe penalties.
Purchasing via a Company — Missing 15% BSD
Company-owned residential property attracts 15% BSD in addition to AVD — regardless of the shareholder's personal residency status. Many investors are unaware.
Selling Within 24 Months — SSD Not Planned
Life events sometimes force a sale within 24 months. SSD at 10% on a HKM property is HK0,000. Early-stage planning can prevent or mitigate this.
Spousal Transfer Without Advice
Transferring property between spouses to reset first-time buyer status can trigger full AVD plus penalties if not structured correctly under the Stamp Duty Ordinance.
対象となるお客様
Navigating Scale 2 duty correctly, confirming eligibility, avoiding declarations that could trigger Scale 1 assessment, and understanding BSD exemptions.
Scale 1 AVD applies to your next purchase — but careful timing and transaction structuring can manage the duty burden significantly.
BSD at 15% is a significant consideration. We advise on whether obtaining HK permanent residency before purchase is feasible and model total duty costs.
SSD holding period planning, AVD Scale 1 cost modelling for each acquisition, and structuring advice for portfolios.
