Crypto tax
How Hong Kong taxes a private crypto investor — not part of the NLV score
Hong Kong has no capital gains tax, so crypto held as a long-term personal investment is tax-free; only activity amounting to a trade or business is subject to profits tax (7.5%/15% for individuals), and there is no GST or VAT.
