Hong Kong Special Administrative Region responsible for assisting overseas and

to the economic development of Hong Kong. In addition to Transport,
Logistics and Maritime, other priority sectors consist of Business &
Professional Services, Consumer Products, Creative Industries, Financial
Services, Financial Technology, Innovation & Technology, Startups, Tourism
& Hospitality, Infrastructure and Advanced Manufacturing.

around the world to set up or expand in Hong Kong and has representatives in
key business cities worldwide looking after target markets in Asia Pacific,
Europe, Middle East and North and South America.
Hong Kong has more benefits than ever before for
investors in aviation financing and established a concessionary tax regime for
the aircraft leasing industry. Qualifying aircraft lessors and aircraft leasing
managers are entitled to a tax concession under which only 20 percent of the
net lease rentals are assessed, to compensate for their non-entitlement to the
aircraft's depreciation allowance.
This regime reduces the profits tax from 16.5
percent to 8.25 percent in regard to aircraft leasing.
