Tax Breaks for Cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong: New Horizons

by Giorgi Kostiuk

a year ago

The Hong Kong government plans to include virtual assets in a new set of tax concessions aimed at attracting institutional investors and expanding investment opportunities.

Expanding Tax Concessions

Besides virtual assets, the proposed tax breaks could apply to non-corporate private companies, emission derivatives, and interests in such companies. This expansion could foster market development. Currently, Hong Kong offers tax concessions mainly to privately offered funds and family-owned investment vehicles.

Regulatory Updates

In addition to tax incentives, regulatory updates are planned for stablecoin issuers, OTC trading services, and custodians. The goal is to create a robust regulatory environment for virtual assets. Currently, Hong Kong offers zero tax on interest for private equity managers and a 16.5% tax exemption on profits from crypto activities.

Partnerships and Innovations

Circle has partnered with Hong Kong Telecommunications to explore blockchain-based loyalty solutions. According to Jeremy Allaire, this collaboration will unlock blockchain technology potential for valuable customer interactions.

This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to helping businesses unlock the potential of blockchain technology to create value-driven customer experiences, redefining loyalty programs and providing merchants with the tools they need to thrive in the digital economy.Jeremy Allaire

Hong Kong actively develops its cryptocurrency sector with new tax breaks and regulatory updates, making it an attractive hub for investors and innovation.
