  • 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.

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.
