Read the full video transcript
[00:00] Every Hong Kong business has one month from the day it starts trading to register with the IRD — miss that window and you're looking at a fine and, in serious cases, imprisonment. Legalkarobar.com makes sure that date is never missed.
[00:35] If you're incorporating a new limited company, your Business Registration Certificate is usually issued automatically alongside your Certificate of Incorporation. If not — sole proprietorships, partnerships, or branches — we file the application directly.
[01:30] Once your first Hong Kong hire comes on board, we register the entity as an employer with the IRD and set up the ongoing Employer's Return, alongside MPF enrolment.
[02:20] From there, we log your renewal date — one year or three — into a compliance calendar, so future Business Registration renewals and any change-of-particulars filings happen automatically, with no last-minute scramble.
Founders who registered without setting foot in Hong Kong
I was worried the one-month deadline would slip while I was still finalising the company structure from India. They had the Business Registration Certificate filed the same week we incorporated.
Our BR renewal notice used to catch us off guard every year. Now it's on a calendar with everything else, and someone tells us before the demand note even arrives.
We changed our registered address mid-year and had no idea we needed to notify the IRD within a month. They caught it and filed the change before it became a problem.
