Bestar Hong Kong Accounting Bundle 2025: Your Complete Guide to SME Compliance

Navigating the complexities of statutory compliance, bookkeeping, and tax filing in Hong Kong can be overwhelming for startups and Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The Bestar Hong Kong Accounting Bundle 2025 is designed as an all-in-one solution to simplify these mandatory obligations, ensuring your business remains compliant with the Companies Ordinance and the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

Outsourcing your accounting and corporate secretarial needs to an integrated provider like Bestar is a strategic move that allows business owners to focus on growth while delegating compliance to local experts.

What is Included in the Bestar Accounting Bundle?

Bestar's accounting packages for 2025 are typically tailored based on your company’s size and transaction volume. A comprehensive bundle usually integrates three core services critical for every Hong Kong limited company:

1. Mandatory Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting

This service covers the fundamental administration required to produce annual financial statements.

• Bookkeeping: Daily, monthly, or annual recording and categorization of all business transactions (income and expenses).

  
  

• Bank Reconciliation: Regular matching of your bank statements against your general ledger to ensure accuracy.

  
  

• Financial Statement Preparation: Generating the statutory Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account, and Notes to Accounts in compliance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS) or the simplified SME-FRF/SME-FRS.

  
  

2. Statutory Audit Support & Tax Filing

All Hong Kong limited companies, regardless of size or activity, must have their financial statements audited annually by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and file a Profits Tax Return.

• Audit Assistance: Bestar prepares all the necessary working papers, documentation, and records to facilitate the mandatory annual audit. They act as a crucial liaison between your company and the independent CPA auditor.

  
  

• Profits Tax Return (PTR) Filing: Preparation and timely submission of the annual Profits Tax Return (BIR51) to the IRD, based on the audited financials.

  
  

• Tax Optimization: Professional advice on tax matters, including legally leveraging the two-tiered profits tax rate and supporting applications for an Offshore Claim (if applicable) to minimize tax liability.

  
  

3. Essential Corporate Secretarial Services

The Companies Ordinance mandates that every Hong Kong limited company must appoint a Company Secretary. This critical role ensures your company adheres to corporate governance rules.

• Company Secretary Appointment: Bestar acts as your official, qualified Company Secretary.

  
  

• Statutory Compliance: Managing and filing all mandatory forms with the Companies Registry, including the annual filing of the Annual Return (Form NAR1).

  
  

• Registered Office: Provision of a local, statutory registered office address in Hong Kong to receive official government mail.

• Audit Assistance: Bestar liaises directly with your independent auditor, providing all necessary documentation and responding to queries, which smoothes the audit process and reduces audit fees.

2. Expert Tax Filing and Strategic Planning

Hong Kong's territorial source principle of taxation is advantageous, but compliance is non-negotiable. Bestar's tax experts maximize your benefits while ensuring strict adherence to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) rules.

• Profits Tax Return (PTR) Filing: Timely and accurate preparation and submission of the annual PTR to the IRD.
