Hong Kong's Proposed Foreign Source Income Exemption (FSIE) Regime
As a response to the European Union’s concerns about Hong Kong’s offshore regime for passive income, the HKSAR Government has recently proposed a revised foreign source income exemption (FSIE) regime for passive income which is expected to take effect on 1 January 2023 with no grandfathering arrangement. The HKSAR Government has invited certain relevant parties and stakeholders to respond to a consultation paper by 15 July 2022.
Corporate groups operate in multiple jurisdictions expecting to accrue / receive in Hong Kong covered offshore sourced income (i.e. interest, income from intellectual properties, dividends and disposal gains in relation to shares or equity interest) would be covered under the FSIE regime. These would be one of the most significant changes to the long-established territorial principles of the Hong Kong tax system.
In this webinar, KPMG speakers are invited to provide an overview on the proposed FSIE regime and the implications thereof. They will also use this session to provide you with their views and some practical considerations on the next steps.
