A Yes. We use accounting software for data entry and computerized book-keeping. Monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis is depending on our client's request. Generally, we suggest monthly basis if there is large volume of business transactions. We suggest yearly basis if there are few business transactions.

4. What are your terms about - 'Tax Representative' and 'Tax Planning'?  
     
A 'Tax Representative' is to fursnish tax computaion, suggest and find out items for you to fit into Tax Deduction or Tax Exemption criteria. Moreover, it concerns and relates to our Tax Planning and accounting works in 'Parallel' Accounting Methodology.

'Tax Planning' aims to plan a system in which a company (especially offshore company) operates in such a way with low-tax burden or even in tax-free paradise by satisfying tax exemption criteria (tax-free grant is subject to HKIRD finalization).
 
     
5. Must I appoint Mitsuba International to be my Tax Representative before using your Strategic Tax Planning services?  
     
A Yes. Being your Tax Representative, we can use our smart professional manner to accurately calculate your assessable profits tax, estimated provisional tax, and a variety of tax allowances.  
     
6. I have a Hong Kong incorporated company but all businesses are carried out not in Hong Kong territory. Should I liable to pay Hong Kong Tax?  
     
A Basically Hong Kong charges tax on any profits "arising in and derived from Hong Kong" only. This sounds technical and difficult to understand. If you have such a clear cut situation of doing all your business out of Hong Kong, the income is then not subject to Hong Kong tax.

However, you still have to prepare financial statements and auditors' report. In tax filing, you have to claim for tax exemption for those income and provide proof. The consideration of tax exemption or not is on "totality of fact", but no one single factor will dominate. Therefore, tax planning in advance is very important. Otherwise, you may have difficulty in getting enough proof to support the tax exemption claim.

Those proof include:
  1. business contract is not signed in Hong Kong;

  2. business contract is not executed in Hong Kong;

  3. goods is not supplied and sold in Hong Kong;

  4. business is conducted by director / staff all outside Hong Kong;
We have to remind that tax exemption in Hong Kong means nothing when you are challenging by another country for tax chargeability. Therefore, Tax Planning in advance is always advised to minimize overall tax.
 
     
7. Why must I employ an auditor?  
     
A Auditor is an independent role to conduct audit works and prepare auditors' report which is necessary to be submitted to Inland Revenue Department.

Every limited company in Hong Kong must complete fully and properly all items in Profits Tax Return together with the following documents:
  1. a certified true copy of Balance Sheet, Auditor's Report where required by Hong Kong or foreign Law or has otherwise been prepared and Profit and Loss Account in respect of the basis period;

  2. a tax computation with supporting schedules showing how the amount of Assessable Profits (or Adjusted Loss) has been arrived at; and

  3. other documents as specified in the Notes and Instructions to Return
 
     
8. What is Mitsuba International's 'Vertical' Accounting Solution Methodology about?  
     
A Our accounting solution methodology "Vertical" is an approach based on assessing risk and leverage company operation system. We gain a thorough understanding of your business to focus solution procedures where risk is the greatest. As no clients are excluded from this process and we use the same solution approach, we are able to deliver a highly effective scutiny works efficiently.

Our "Vertical" Accounting Solution approach was created with entrepreneurial and owner-managed clients in mind. We have commitment to using technology to ensure our solution is not only simply tasks of data-sorting, but also in-depth data analysis.
 
     
9. Are Mitsuba International's services like Accounting Package services, Tax Planning, and Accounting Solution works, etc. interrelated?  
     
A Yes, sure! They are interrelated and theoretically inseparable as, for example, Tax Planning would affect the company operation system in turn changing the accounting system and accounting solution tasks.
