Hong Kong Courts Australian Family Offices With Tax and Residency Incentives

Hong Kong family office tax incentives are being promoted to Australian investors as the city pitches itself as a base for family offices through its gateway role to mainland China and Asia-Pacific, deep capital markets and favourable tax treatment.

Officials said Hong Kong manages more than USD4.5tr in assets as the world’s second-largest cross-border wealth hub, while Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing was the top venue globally for IPO fundraising in 2025.

They also highlighted a residency pathway under the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, which requires a minimum investment of about USD5.4m and has attracted more than 3,000 applications representing over HKD95bn in potential investment.

Hong Kong family office tax incentives are being framed alongside the city’s common-law system, unrestricted capital flows and concessions for eligible family-owned investment vehicles.
