Hong Kong and India tax obligations, side by side
A quick comparison of how the two systems treat filing periods, rates and thresholds — useful context before we get into your specific numbers.
| Aspect | Hong Kong | India | How We Help |
|---|---|---|---|
| HKTax Year | Year of Assessment — 1 April to 31 March | 1 April – 31 March | Both years already align — we still map the filing deadlines onto one shared calendar. |
| HKCorporate / Profits Tax | 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of profits; 16.5% above — territorial basis, offshore profits can be exempt | Approx. 25% for most domestic companies, with concessional regimes for eligible entities | We assess your offshore-claim eligibility and calculate both liabilities. |
| HKIndividual / Salaries Tax | Salaries Tax — progressive 2%–17%, or a 15% standard rate cap, whichever is lower | Income Tax Return — typical non-audit deadline 31 July, subject to annual notification | We file both returns together and cross-check foreign-income disclosures. |
| HKIndirect Tax | None — no VAT, GST, or general sales tax, and no capital gains tax | GST — registration threshold varies by state and business category | We handle the India-side GST assessment on the corresponding transaction. |
| HKDouble Taxation Relief | DTA credit claimed for tax already paid in India, under the India-Hong Kong DTA | DTA credit claimed on the Indian return for tax already paid in Hong Kong | We decide which side claims relief first, based on your residency and income type. |
Rates and thresholds shown are current published figures and change with each Hong Kong Budget and Indian Finance Act. Book a consultation to confirm the numbers that apply to your specific filing year.
A four-stage process, India side and Hong Kong side together
The same sequence whether you're registering your first Hong Kong entity or renewing your fifth Business Registration Certificate.
Structure & Offshore-Claim Review
A free consultation to map your Hong Kong company's trading activity and assess offshore exemption eligibility.
IRD & Registry Registration
We register the references you need, set up MPF enrolment if you have staff, and align your renewal cycle.
Return Preparation & Filing
We prepare and file the Hong Kong Profits Tax return and the Indian side together, applying DTA relief consistently.
Ongoing Compliance Calendar
We track every recurring Hong Kong and India deadline, so no Annual Return or renewal is ever late.
One team for both tax systems, not two disconnected advisors
Most Hong Kong secretarial firms don't understand Indian tax residency rules, and most Indian CAs don't file IRD returns. We do both, together, so your DTA position is never a guess.
Dual-jurisdiction filing
Your Hong Kong and Indian filings are prepared by the same team, in the same engagement, so the numbers agree.
Transparent, upfront pricing
Clear timelines and quoted fees before any engagement begins — no hidden charges or surprise add-ons.
Genuine offshore-claim expertise
We assess offshore exemption eligibility with real transactional evidence, not a boilerplate claim that invites an IRD challenge.
One relationship manager
A single point of contact across every Hong Kong and India filing, not a rotating queue of case handlers.

Read the full video transcript
[00:00] Most Indian founders using a Hong Kong company run into the same problem: their Hong Kong secretarial firm doesn't understand Indian tax rules, and their Indian CA doesn't file IRD returns. Legalkarobar.com closes that gap by handling both sides in one engagement.
[00:40] We start with a free consultation that maps where your trading activity actually happens, since Hong Kong only taxes profits sourced in Hong Kong — this determines whether an offshore exemption claim is realistic.
[01:35] Next we handle IRD registration, Business Registration renewal, and MPF enrolment if you have Hong Kong staff, alongside your Companies Registry Annual Return.
[02:30] Finally, we prepare your Profits Tax return and Indian filing together, applying DTA relief so the same income isn't taxed twice, and set up a compliance calendar so future deadlines are never missed.
Founders and traders managing tax on both sides
Our Hong Kong entity's offshore claim was properly documented for the first time in three years — with the transactional evidence the IRD actually asks for, not a generic template.
Our Business Registration renewal and Annual Return used to be handled by two different agents who never spoke to our Indian accountant. Now it's one calendar, one team.
I didn't know MPF enrolment applied from my very first Hong Kong hire. They set it up correctly and folded the Employer's Return into our existing filing calendar.
