香港启动针对对冲基金、私募股权基金和亿万富翁的加密货币免税计划
香港已启动计划，免除私募股权基金、对冲基金和亿万富翁对加密货币投资的已实现收益纳税。这些政策变化可能会使香港在争夺顶级离岸金融中心的竞争中成为与新加坡和瑞士竞争的竞争对手。
新加坡和中国一直在竞相通过更宽松的税收政策吸引大型投资基金和亿万富翁的资本投资。
根据英国《金融时报》本周看到的一份冗长提案，中国政府打算通过更宽松的监管为资产管理公司创造有利的运营环境。税收是此类实体的关键考虑因素之一。
如果中国税收修订提案获得批准，可能会扩大免税投资

The tax proposal detailed that the government also intends to revisit its tax policies to expand tax-exempt investments. China has been running a six-week consultation, and once the proposal is approved, Hong Kong will eradicate taxation on private credit, overseas property, and carbon credits.
According to Patrick Yip, vice chair and international tax partner at Deloitte China, whose main focus lies in family offices, if the proposal is implemented, the tax proposals could provide clarity to family offices and capital-intensive investors. Yip highlighted that the proposal could boost Hong Kong as a financial and crypto trading hub. He added that a group of families allocates up to 20% of their investment portfolios to crypto investments.
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s crackdown on wealthy individuals in the jurisdiction caused high-networth Chinese citizens to set up private investment channels outside the Chinese Territory.
On the other hand, Singapore initiated a strict campaign against money laundering, sparking concerns among offshore investors. The country has employed more strict due diligence checks that have slowed the onboarding of new family offices.
China has seen recent pro-crypto developments, especially after Donald Trump’s victory in the November 5th U.S. presidential elections. In 2021, China upheld its strong conviction against digital assets. The Chinese central bank declared all cryptocurrency transactions illegal and banned digital assets like Bitcoin. The ban effectively blocked 1.41 billion people in the country from accessing cryptocurrencies.
However, China’s perspective on digital assets appears to have changed or evolved with time. Recently, a Shanghai court ruling clarified that personal ownership of crypto assets is legal in China amid rising concerns about Beijing’s crackdown on crypto assets’ use for commercial purposes. However, Chinese regulations still ban business activities centered around digital assets to maintain financial stability and protect shareholders.
The U.S. leads with a more positive crypto outlook for investors and institutions
Although the Chinese government seems to be taking a more conservative approach to digital assets, the U.S. has made significant strides since Donald Trump was declared the president-elect after the elections. His campaign endorsed digital assets and pledged to make the United States the global crypto hub.
Unlike China, U.S. regulators allow companies to incorporate digital assets in their operations. The lighter crypto regulations have paved the way for U.S.-based companies like Microstrategy and Solidion to adopt crypto assets as strategic reserve assets to boost shareholders’ value and hedge against inflation.
Microstrategy is the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 386,700 Bitcoin at the time of this publication. Japan has also pioneered Bitcoin adoption in Asia by allowing companies like Metaplanet to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, mimicking Microstrategy’s success.
