Incorporate a Hong Kong Limited Company for Filipino Freelancers
Filipino remote workers can establish a Hong Kong Limited company to access international payment gateways and global markets. The jurisdiction utilizes a territorial tax system, meaning offshore-sourced income may be exempt from local Hong Kong profits tax.
Registration requires a local company secretary and a registered office address, both of which are provided through the Osome platform. Founders must remain compliant with BIR Revenue Regulation 8-2018 regarding the reporting of foreign-sourced income in the Philippines.
