[Webinar] Limited Partnership Fund Regime and Proposed Carried Interest Concession
概要
The Government has taken a number of steps to revitalize the Hong Kong’s fund platform, such as the recent modification of the Limited Partnership Fund Regime and the Proposed Tax Concession for Carried Interest distributed in respect of private equity (PE) transactions.
The Limited Partnership Fund regime allows onshoring of funds whereby the fund domiciliation location and fund management location are aligned. In relation to the taxation of carried interest, the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) has issued a consultation paper to seek for public views on the proposed carried interest concession. The tax concession rate will be “highly competitive” and takes retrospective effect from 1 April 2020.
