Non-Hong Kong companies (previously called “oversea companies”) registered with a place of business in Hong Kong must file an Annual Return (Form NN3) annually under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
Filing Deadline
Deliver the return within 42 days after each anniversary of the company’s registration date in Hong Kong, regardless of changes in particulars—no exemptions are available. Use the Companies Registry’s Annual Return Filing Calculator to confirm your due date.
Required Contents
Form NN3 details the company’s place of incorporation, principal Hong Kong business address, authorized representatives, directors, company secretary, and other key particulars as of the return date. A certified true copy of the latest published accounts (at least 12 months) is also required if mandated by the home jurisdiction’s laws or stock exchange rules.
Filing Methods
New companies under 18 months note the absence of accounts in Section 12B.
Fees and Penalties
On-time fee: HK$180. Late fees escalate: HK$1,200 (43 days–3 months), up to HK$4,800 (>9 months). Non-compliance risks HK$50,000 fines, daily HK$1,000 penalties, and prosecution for directors/agents.
