Where to open an bank account for a HK company ?

[DeepDrilling]

I want to setup a new HK company for my business. I live in the EU but read it's possible to avoid huge taxes if I setup a HK company and don't be a owner or manager of the company.

But where do I bank, what bank will open an account for an foreign owned Hong Kong company? Best would be to have account in hond kong.

You may want to double check this depending on your situation.

Maybe look at Statrys.

 

[JohnLocke]

Yeah Statrys is very popular when it comes to banking in Hong Kong.

Yes, exactly. E.g. if the company was effectively managed from the EU (not necessarilly by you), it would be taxed in the EU...

Maybe look at Statrys.

and / or Currenxie.

To be honest, I have not a good experience with Airwallex HK in the last 2 years, you have?

Yes, you don't have to pay taxes for HK companies that you don't own or manage.

Yes, you don't have to pay taxes for HK companies that you don't own or manage.

But that would require that he hides it from his local tax authorities, which includes a risk if they figure it out there.

? He don't have to hide it if he doesn't own or control the companies.

yeah but it is still my company, I need to do some contracting with the owner and director so they can't get away with it.

Oh well. I guess I understand. Quite a tricky setup . Yet beware of this, generally Where to open an bank account for a HK company ? and perhaps rather go to the Mentor Group section with this discussion...

In my opinion, if the company's activity is anything other than trade in goods, it will be extremely hard to open an account with any of those EMIs (Airwallex, Currenxie, Statrys, Worldfirst).
