In the present environment, individuals and expats in Hong Kong have increased their focus on the taxation implications of their strategic planning opportunities and the nature of investments locally also abroad. Expats that may have sought to relocate to another country post-retirement may wish first to be equipped with an understanding of tax policy and legislative changes introduced as a result of COVID-19. Individuals who seek to remain in Hong Kong post-retirement may similarly seek a better understanding of the retirement system, as well as taxation consequences of any investments located outside Hong Kong. In addition to unintended tax residency issues brought about by COVID-19, this seminar will highlight some tax planning strategies for the expat located in Hong Kong post-COVID-19, the application of double tax treaties to certain income streams and capital gains, and also regulatory changes in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia with respect foreign investments.
