Setup checklist
## What we need for HK accounting and PTR work.
The goal is to confirm accounting records, IRD status, audit-readiness and whether the company has banking, trading, holding or China-linked activity.
| Requirement | What to prepare |
| --- | --- |
| Company documents | Certificate of Incorporation, Business Registration Certificate, Articles, NNC1 / NAR1 and company secretary record where available. |
| Bank statements | HK bank statements, virtual bank records, payment platform statements and supporting transaction exports. |
| Sales and income records | Sales invoices, platform settlement records, client contracts, receipt records and income explanations. |
| Supplier and expense records | Supplier invoices, expense receipts, reimbursements, payment vouchers and contract support. |
| Transaction explanations | Counterparties, countries, currencies, business purpose and cross-border payment background. |
| Prior records | Previous bookkeeping files, financial statements, audit reports, tax computation or IRD correspondence. |
| IRD notice / BIR51 | Profits Tax Return notice, BIR51 form, supplementary forms and any tax queries from the Inland Revenue Department. |
Process
## From accounting review to IRD response support.
01
#### Record review
Review company status, bank activity, accounting files, IRD notices and prior audit / tax history.
02
#### Cleanup requests
Identify missing invoices, contracts, receipts, bank statements, platform exports and transaction explanations.
03
#### Statement preparation
Prepare accounting schedules and financial statements for audit, shareholder review or tax filing support.
04
#### Audit coordination
Coordinate document requests and issue tracking with a Hong Kong CPA / auditor where required.
05
#### PTR / IRD support
Support Profits Tax Return, BIR51 schedules, tax computation and response workflow for IRD questions.
Critical factors
## Four factors that shape HK accounting workload.
These factors affect bookkeeping scope, audit coordination, tax filing complexity and whether additional explanation is needed for banks or IRD.
### Transaction volume
Bank movements, sales invoices, supplier payments, card transactions and platform settlements affect monthly and year-end workload.
[HK banking support →](https://asomerit.com/hong-kong-bank-account-opening?hsLang=en)
### Audit readiness
Clean schedules, bank reconciliations, contracts and supporting records reduce audit questions and year-end delay.
[Company records →](https://asomerit.com/hong-kong-company-secretary?hsLang=en)
### China-linked activity
WFOE shareholder role, China customers, supplier payments or group charges may require clearer transaction explanations.
[WFOE setup →](https://asomerit.com/wfoe-registration?hsLang=en)
### Offshore profits claim support
Offshore profits claim can reduce Hong Kong Profits Tax to 0% for qualifying income, but it requires solid documentation, transaction records and IRD scrutiny readiness. We coordinate the application route and supporting evidence with your CPA partner after scope review.

FAQ
## Frequently asked questions about HK accounting and Profits Tax Return.

How much does Hong Kong accounting and tax support cost?+
Costs depend on transaction volume, bookkeeping quality, audit requirements, bank activity, IRD correspondence and whether offshore profits claim support is needed. Final scope is confirmed after reviewing the company records and filing status.
