导读：如何玩转香港公司注册资本？
很多朋友来问我，想要开一家香港公司，需要有多少资本呢？我想他们要问的是，一家香港公司需要有多少注册资本。相信很多老板对于这个问题也是一知半解，那么我们就来聊聊其中乾坤！Many friends asked me, how much do I need to open a Hong Kong company? I think what they are asking is the registered capital required for a HK company. Do you also have such a question? let's talk about it!
其实，注册资本也称为法定资本，是香港公司的股本总额，股东根据公司注册资本（股本）进行股份分配，确定持股比例。香港公司的最低注册资本规定是1港币，标准注册资本为1万港元，也可接受多币种注册资本，如美金、英镑等。Registered capital, also known as legal capital, is the total share capital of a Hong Kong company. Shareholders allocate the company's registered capital (share capital) and determine the shareholding ratio. The minimum registered capital required for a HK company is 1 HKD, and the standard is 10,000 HKD. The registered capital also can set with other currency, such as dollars, pounds, etc. 注册香港公司时需要确定公司的注册资本，那注册资金越高，就显得公司实力越强吗？When registering a HK company, it is needed to settle the company's registered capital. The more the registered capital, the stronger the company is? 不一定！！！“注册资金越高，公司实力越强”，很多老板都会步入这样一个误区！大错特错！"The more the registered capital, the stronger the company", many of you may step into such a misunderstanding! However, Big mistake!!!
香港公司的注册资本不会显示在注册证书和商业登记证书上，只会记录在公司章程和法团成立表格/周年申报表，香港公司的注册资本没有进行验资，也不要求实缴，所以注册资本并不能反映公司的真正实力，但却代表着股东要承担的责任和风险，也就是说，注册资本越高，代表股东要承担的责任和风险就越高。NOT EXACTLY! The registered capital of a HK company is not displayed on the registration certificate and business registration certificate, but recorded in the company's articles of association and the NNC1 Form or Annual Return. Besides, capital verification and real capital are not required, so the registered capital cannot reflect the real strength of the company. However, it represents the responsibilities and risks that shareholders have to bear, which is to say, more registered capital means more responsibilities and risks borne by shareholders.（法团成立表格 NNC1 Form） 另外，若公司后期需要转股，香港税局会对转出部分征收千分之二点六的厘印税，类似于大陆的印花税。以1亿港币的注册资本为例，公司转让时就要被征收100000000*0.26%=26万港币的厘印税。注册资本越高，需缴纳的厘印税就越高。In addition, if the company needs to transfer shares later, the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department will impose a stamp tax which is similar to the stamp tax in the mainland, of 2.6% on the transferred part. Taking a company with registered capital of 100 million HKD as an example, a stamp duty of 100,000,000*0.26%=260,000 HKD will be levied when the company is transferred. The more the registered capital, the more the stamp tax to be paid. 当然，注册资本是可以随时做变更的，可以增加，也可以减少。因此也常有公司会为了躲避高额厘印税，选择减少注册资本，但减资程序比增资程序要复杂得多，所需费用也不低。Of course, the registered capital can be increased or decreased at any time. Therefore, some companies often choose to reduce their registered capital in order to avoid high stamp duties, but the procedure for capital reduction is much more complicated than that for increase, with a high cost. 有的人可能会想，既然注册资本不是越高越好，那我直接选个最低要求1港币好了。其实不然，1港币的注册资本无法进行多股东之间的股权分配，且公司注册后若要开立银行账户或投资，对方会认为公司股东的注资金额太低，可信度不高，拒绝合作。Some may think, why not pick a minimum required amount, like 1 HKD, since that the registered capital is not the more the better? In fact, it is not true. A registered capital of 1 HKD is not enough for equity distribution among multiple shareholders, and if the company needs to open a bank account or invest after registration, the other party might consider that the amount of capital is too low to build creditability, and refuse to develop mutual cooperation. 另外，注册资本为1万港币的香港公司，就可以在大陆投资成立注册资本100万的外商投资企业。因此如果没有特殊情况，建议注册资本设置在1万港元或以上，但金额不宜过高！A HK company with a registered capital of 10,000 HKD is able to invest in a foreign-invested enterprise with a registered capital of 1 million in the mainland. Therefore, if there are no special circumstances, it is recommended that the registered capital be set at 10,000 HKD or more. 瀚客在处理香港公司业务方面已有多年经验，如果你有相关需要，欢迎来咨询～HACOS has years of experience in handling HK companies.
