Two-tier Profits Tax Rates

 

GEL and Ace Vision are incorporated in Hong Kong and are subject to Hong Kong profits tax compliance.

 

The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 (“the Ordinance”) of Hong Kong became effective for the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD 2 million of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%. The Ordinance only allows one entity within a group of “connected entities” is eligible for the two-tier tax rate benefit. An entity is a connected entity of another entity if (1) one of them has control over the other; (2) both of them are under the control (more than 50% of the issued share capital) of the same entity; (3) in the case of the first entity being a natural person carrying on a sole proprietorship business-the other entity is the same person carrying on another sole proprietorship business. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity’s election to nominate an entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rate on its Profits Tax Return. The election is irrevocable.

 

For the tax years of 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong provided concessionary measures by providing tax reduction (“tax credit”) of profits tax up to HKD6,000 and HKD3,000 and HKD1,500, respectively, per case.

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of and for the years ended June 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. Under relevant Hong Kong tax laws, tax case is normally subject to investigation by the tax authority for up to 6 years of assessment prior to the current year of assessment, if in a case of fraud or willful evasion, then the investigation can be extended to cover 10 years of assessment.
