Dear Mr Chin,
Potential Tax Treaty Partners for Hong Kong
Thank you for your letter of 6 March 2026 inviting the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce to provide suggestions on prospective jurisdictions that Hong Kong should actively pursue Comprehensive Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreements.
The Chamber regards the expansion of Hong Kong’s tax treaty network as essential to bolster our standing as a preferred destination for international business operations amid the evolving global tax environment. We are hopeful that meaningful progress can be made in the near term through active engagement with the jurisdictions as set out in the attached document. We also understand that CDTA negotiations are ongoing with Germany and Nigeria; given the considerable market size of those two countries, we look forward to the successful conclusion of such negotiations as soon as practicable. Accordingly, we highly recommend that the Government allocate additional resources to expedite the process.
We hope you will find our recommendations useful.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Yeung
CEO
