Hong Kong investment in virtual assets will not be subject to capital gains tax

Hong Kong investors in virtual assets will not be subject to asset value-added tax, which is a very attractive point for global investors. For example, in Japan and Australia, although they have expanded the virtual asset market earlier than Hong Kong, they still need to pay asset value-added tax, which will be included in the comprehensive tax rate calculation. The comprehensive tax rates in Japan and Australia can be as high as 50% and 40% respectively. For investors, investment returns are of course the most important consideration, and Hong Kong's low tax system will attract more international investors to settle in Hong Kong.

  • Coinbase Chief Legal Officer: US SEC blocks Coinbase’s request to disclose Gary Gensler’s communication documents

    Paul Grewal.eth, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, wrote on the X platform that the issues of Chevron and Binance's secondary sales have been clarified, but in Coinbase's lawsuit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has prevented Coinbase from requesting the disclosure of Gary Gensler's communication documents. In March 2021, Gary Gensler told the U.S. Congress that the SEC lacked regulatory authority over digital asset exchanges, confirming the long-held belief among market participants that digital asset trading on these exchanges is not within the jurisdiction of securities law. Coinbase has requested that Gary Gensler provide documents related to these communications because they are related to how the SEC's enforcement actions violate the due process requirements of the Constitution, but the SEC and Gary Gensler are trying to prevent the disclosure of these documents.

  • Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: Promote the implementation of the mutual recognition arrangement between the Mainland and Hong Kong, and allow sales to public investors in the other marke

    Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong welcomes the release of the "Hong Kong Mutual Recognition of Funds Management Rules (Revised Draft for Solicitation of Comments)," which promotes the implementation of optimized mutual recognition arrangements for funds. The proposed measures for revision in the draft for solicitation of comments include relaxing the proportion limit for Hong Kong mutual recognition funds sold in the Mainland and allowing Hong Kong mutual recognition funds to transfer investment management functions to overseas asset management institutions under the same group as the manager. Currently, the proportion of mutual recognition funds sold in the other market cannot exceed 50% of the total assets of the fund. After optimization, this proportion limit will be relaxed to 80%. The SFC of Hong Kong will work closely to promote the formulation and implementation of relevant measures and will announce the implementation details and formal launch date of the optimized mutual recognition arrangements in due course. Cross-border mutual recognition of funds is a mature institutional arrangement in the field of international asset management market opening. As early as July 1, 2015, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission launched mutual recognition of funds, allowing Mainland and Hong Kong funds that meet certain conditions to be recognized or licensed for sale to the public in the other market in accordance with statutory procedures.
