The Hong Kong Company Ordinance requires all companies to maintain proper books, documents and accounts for a minimum of 7 years and file annual profits tax returns with the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
Directors may select the first financial year end, which must fall within 18 months of incorporation. Subsequent financial years are any 12 consecutive months. Popular choices are 31 December (calendar year) or 31 March (Hong Kong Government fiscal year).
Failing to file tax returns on time will result in government penalties and potential legal action.
