Tax Advisory

CW CPA provides tax advisory services in Hong Kong and Mainland China to support businesses navigating complex tax regulations, compliance obligations and cross-border tax considerations. Hong Kong and Mainland China each have distinct tax regimes, and effective tax planning and compliance support help businesses manage risk and optimise their tax positions. Our tax advisors work with clients of various sizes and structures to deliver practical, compliance-oriented tax guidance tailored to local requirements.

Let's Talk!
Our Working Approach
  • A risk-based focus on material tax exposures and compliance priorities, rather than theoretical analysis
  • Consideration of tax implications at both company and group level, particularly for holding and cross-border structures
  • Coordination with tax advisory teams within the Allinial Global network to support international and multi-jurisdictional tax matters
  • Clear communication of tax implications to support management decision-making and compliance planning
