这项税务优惠吸引了全球对冲基金进驻,带动了办公室租金和奢侈品销售的成长;然而,随著中国利用共同申报准则严格执行百分之二十的海外资本利得税,私人财富管理机构正面临客户可能流失的恐慌。(关键数字:20)
这导致了产业前景的分歧:对冲基金和机构投资可能会蓬勃发展,而高度依赖中国资金的私人财富管理则可能受挫,这凸显了香港急需通过税制改革以加速国际资金来源多元化的重要性。


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.
