Ongoing Compliance for HK & China Companies

Home  /  Compliance

Annual compliance for your Hong Kong, China, or Singapore company. We run it, you don’t track it.

Most online and Asia-based accounting firms process what they’re given, without asking whether the numbers match the business, or recommending how to improve your statements. The cost shows up later, when a tax inspection turns up something wrong, or when you pay more tax than you should.

We do the work the way we’d want it done on our own books.

Compliance calendar

Three jurisdictions, three different annual cycles

Each jurisdiction has its own rhythm: Hong Kong runs on the company’s incorporation anniversary, China is monthly from day one with no first-year grace, and Singapore is driven by your financial year-end. We run all three.

🇭🇰

Hong Kong compliance

Annual Return, Business Registration renewal, audit, and Profits Tax Return – every year, on the company’s incorporation anniversary. Audit is mandatory for every active company, no revenue threshold.

Cycle anchor: incorporation date
🇨🇳

China (WFOE) compliance

Monthly VAT and IIT filings from day one – mandatory regardless of activity. Annual audit by April 30, CIT reconciliation by May 31, AMR report by June 30. Miss the AMR and the company lands on the Abnormal Operations List, which makes the bank ask questions.

Key dates: Apr 30 audit · May 31 income tax · Jun 30 annual report
🇸🇬

Singapore compliance

ACRA Annual Return within 7 months of year-end, Estimated Chargeable Income within 3 months, corporate tax return by 30 November. Most owner-operated companies qualify for audit exemption.

Cycle anchor: financial year-end

Our method

Three moves that make compliance defensible

🧭

We learn your business first

Before we open the books, we sit with you to understand the business – what your company sells and how the structure across your jurisdictions works. That context shapes every categorisation in the financial statements. Without it, the numbers can pass processing without reflecting the business.

⚠️

We know where reporting gets risky

Wrong figures can survive audit, but two years later they surface in a tax inspection. Categories that don’t reflect the business draw tax-office questions. So do sizes that don’t match the operation, and margins that look too round or too thin. A related-entity transfer without proper documentation, or without clear business purpose, is the first thing the next bank reviewer notices. Most founders don’t know which patterns are risky – we’ve worked through enough of them to know.

👁️

We don’t sign off on numbers we can’t defend

Every set of financial statements goes through internal review before it reaches the auditor. We check that each categorisation holds up against the business, and that the margins and support files behind it are documented and in proper form. Anything that doesn’t hold gets fixed before the audit. You don’t have to read draft statements and decide what’s risky – we do that part.
