The proposed crypto asset reporting framework will require tax-paying residents in the country to annually report their crypto accounts and transactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This builds upon the region\u2019s existing Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters. This <\/span>has been operational since 2018.\u00a0<\/span>Under this system, Hong Kong has been sharing financial account data with partner jurisdictions to facilitate tax assessments and detect evasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new framework will extend these efforts to include cryptocurrency transactions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once implemented, the collected data will be shared with tax authorities globally to ensure fair and effective enforcement of tax laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, the OECD announced a reporting framework in June 2023. This was also to ensure that global tax transparency is maintained.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong Considers Global Standard For Tax Transparency<\/h2>\n

\u201cImplementing the Reporting Framework is vital to maintaining Hong Kong\u2019s reputation as an international financial and business center and reflects Hong Kong\u2019s reputation as a responsible tax jurisdiction. Hong Kong has been committed to promoting international tax cooperation efforts, \u201d Ching-yu said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the government press release, \u201cHong Kong has always firmly supported international efforts to improve tax transparency and combat tax evasion\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2018, the country has automatically exchanged financial account information with partner tax jurisdictions every year. The relevant tax authorities may use the information for tax assessments and to detect and combat tax evasion.<\/p>\n

Ching-yu said, \u201cThe government will listen to the views of relevant stakeholders and the public when preparing the necessary legislative amendments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
