  • Guide to Shipping Register and Shipping Tax Regime in Hong Kong Contents
    Guide to Shipping Register and Shipping Tax Regime in Hong Kong Contents The Hong Kong Shipping Register 1 Taxation of Shipping Profits in Hong Kong 8 Schedule 12 The Hong Kong Shipping Register Until 3 December 1990, the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Acts (the “Acts”) (except for the Merchant Shipping Act 1988) applied to registration of ships and to mortgages of ships in Hong Kong. A ship registered at the Port of Hong Kong was, therefore, a British ship. Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997 and became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Section VIII of Annex I to the Sino- British Joint Declaration which relates to the transfer of sovereignty states that: “The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall maintain Hong Kong’s previous systems of shipping management and shipping regulation, including the system for regulating conditions of seamen. The specific functions and responsibilities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in the field of shipping shall be defined by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on its own. Private shipping businesses and shipping-related businesses and private container terminals in Hong Kong may continue to operate freely. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be authorised by the Central People’s Government to continue to maintain a shipping register and issue related certificates under its own legislation in the name of ‘Hong Kong, China’.” The Hong Kong Government appointed a Steering Committee in 1987 to advise the Government on the establishment of an independent shipping registry. The result was enacted as the Merchant Shipping (Registration) Ordinance (Cap 415) (the “Ordinance”), which came into effect on 3 December 1990.

  • Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong
    Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong The Road Crossing Code It is safer to cross the road using footbridges, subways, “Zebra” crossings or “Green man” crossings. If you cannot find any such crossing facilities nearby, there are some basic steps for crossing roads that you need to observe: 1. Find a safe place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions for any approaching traffic. 2. When checking traffic, stop a little way back from the kerb where you will be away from traffic. 3. Look all around for traffic and listen. However, electric/hybrid vehicles including motorcycles may operate very quietly. You need to look out for them in addition to listening. If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around and listen again. 4. Let the drivers know your intention to cross but do not expect a driver to slow down for you. 5. Do not cross unless you are certain there is plenty of time. Walk straight across the road when there is no traffic near. 6. Keep looking and listening for vehicles that come into sight or come near while you cross. 7. Do not carry out any other activities, such as eating, drinking, playing mobile games,using mobile phones, listening to any audio device or talking while crossing the road. Give all your attention to the traffic. Using crossing facilities Crossing aids are often provided to help you cross busy roads. Footbridges and subways: Footbridges, subways and elevated walkways are the safest places to cross busy roads as they keep pedestrians well away from the dangers of traffic.

  • Legislative Council Brief
    File Reference: ENB CR 1/3231/19 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112) Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310) EXEMPTION FROM PROFITS TAX (FEED-IN TARIFF SCHEME) ORDER BUSINESS REGISTRATION (AMENDMENT) REGULATION 2019 INTRODUCTION Pursuant to the Government’s policy to promote renewable energy (“RE”) in Hong Kong, we encourage individuals to install RE systems at their residential premises under the Feed-in Tariff (“FiT”) Scheme and would simplify the relevant procedures as far as possible in order to facilitate their participation. In this connection, we are putting forward legislative amendments to exempt these individuals from relevant business registration requirements and taxation obligations. 2. At the meeting of the Executive Council on 10 December 2019, the Council ADVISED and the Chief Executive ORDERED that the Exemption from Profits Tax (Feed-in Tariff Scheme) Order (“the Exemption Order”), at Annex A, should be made by the Chief Executive in Council (“CE-in-C”) pursuant to section 87 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (“IRO”); and the Business Registration (Amendment) Regulation 2019 (“the Amendment Regulation”), at Annex B, should be made by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (SFST) pursuant to section 14(1A)(g) of the Business Registration Ordinance (“BRO”) to exempt individuals who install RE systems at their residential premises from – (a) the payment of profits tax in respect of their income derived from selling electricity generated by such systems to the relevant power companies under the FiT Scheme; and (b) the provisions of the BRO in respect of their FiT businesses. JUSTIFICATIONS The FiT Scheme 3. The FiT Scheme is a strong financial incentive for private investment in RE because the power generated can be sold to the power companies at rates1 higher than the normal electricity tariff rate, which can help recover the costs of investment, operation and maintenance in around 10 years2.
