這項稅務優惠吸引了全球對沖基金進駐,帶動了辦公室租金和奢侈品銷售的成長;然而,隨著中國利用共同申報準則嚴格執行百分之二十的海外資本利得稅,私人財富管理機構正面臨客戶可能流失的恐慌。(關鍵數字:20)
這導致了產業前景的分歧:對沖基金和機構投資可能會蓬勃發展,而高度依賴中國資金的私人財富管理則可能受挫,這凸顯了香港急需通過稅制改革以加速國際資金來源多元化的重要性。


Hong Kong's asset management industry is facing two opposing forces: a landmark tax reform designed to attract overseas asset managers by eliminating taxes on carried interest and performance fees, and Beijing's strict crackdown on overseas capital gains.
This generous tax concession is attracting global hedge funds, boosting office rents and luxury sales; however, private wealth managers are panicking over potential client flight as China actively enforces a 20 percent tax on overseas capital gains utilizing the Common Reporting Standard.
This creates a divergence in the industry's fortunes: hedge funds and institutional investments may boom, while private wealth management tied to mainland money could suffer, highlighting the critical need for the tax reform to accelerate the international diversification of Hong Kong's funding sources.
