Frequently Asked Questions
What is corporate "legal maintenance"? I’ve never seen that on other websites…
In ATHENASIA, we try our best to simplify our client’s life. Therefore, we like to offer “full packages” so that the client pays for a bundle of services and government fees and we don’t have to harass him/her all the time for small payments.
Corporate legal maintenance includes everything you need to run your Hong Kong company for one year in terms of compliance. Apart from a company secretary, registered office, government fees (AR, BR), filling in the Annual Return, and submitting Business Registration, we also perform ad hoc company secretary duty at no extra cost (you only pay for the government fees but our consulting is included).
The first year of our company secretarial services and registered address is included in your Hong Kong company setup package. This way, you will only have to pay again after 1 year of operation.
Attention! This does NOT cover accounting, audit, and tax representation.
When should I pay for this?
You will pay every year on the anniversary of your company.
Does legal maintenance include accounting?
No! Accounting audit and tax are separate things. See our accounting services.
What is the AR?
The AR is the Annual Return; it is a document you send back every year to update the government about changes in terms of share capital, shareholders, directors, company name, company address, and secretary…
If there are no changes you still have to fill it in to avoid getting fined and then eventually summoned to court if you ignore them.
What is the BR?
The BR is the Business Registration. You have to renew it every year. It will cost you HKD 2,250 / year. If you work with us, this fee is included in the legal maintenance and compliance package.
Sometimes the government of Hong Kong waves the BR and only keeps 250 levy. It has been the case in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 fiscal year (April to March). Which is why the prices were so low.
What happens if I don't pay the BR and/or don't submit the AR ?
Initially, you will simply get small fines until a point in which the government loses patience and summons you to court. We strongly recommend you to be serious about this. If you work with ATHENASIA, we will make sure we contact you at the right time to get all this in order and have a smooth experience.
