Minimising withholding tax on foreign-sourced passive income
Both individuals and corporations receiving passive income, such as interest income, dividend income, and royalty income from overseas companies may be subject to foreign withholding tax. They can apply there to use a lower withholding tax rate (or even zero withholding tax rate) if Hong Kong has a double tax treaty with the overseas jurisdiction in question. The application for relief to the foreign tax authority must be accompanied by a Certificate of Resident Status (COR) from the IRD, which confirms that the individual or corporation is a tax resident of Hong Kong. Our tax professionals are experienced in handling COR applications for clients and have successfully obtained a significant number of CORs already.
