Holding company and bank account in Hong Kong

Guys, I am interested in setting up an offshore company and opening a bank account for "putting away" dividends from my European business. Probably I will do it not directly but through an intermediary holding in Cyprus or Malta (is order to go around CFC and WHT issues).

My question regarding Hong Kong is if this jurisdiction is somehow more attractive for such passive holding then other traditional offshores? Secondly - the bank account issue. Previously I have encountered great difficulties while opening a bank account in the name of the offshore company. Is it true that you need to physically come to Hong Kong in order to open a bank account?

Practical advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Topic: Hong Kong

Profit Repatriation

Hi.
I operate on behalf of an Australian company with subsidaries in Hong Kong. We are currently looking into expanding our business operations into Mongolia through a new subsidary that will be set up in Ulaanbaatar. I understand that Mongoolia and China have a double tax treaty, and that China and Australia also have a tax treaty. I was wondering how much tax would be paid for profit repatriation into Australia from Mongolia? It would be very helpful if somebody could answer my questions, or direct to the right sources to find and answer.

Much thanks in advance!

Topic: Hong Kong

Hong Kong, China - tax ???

A simple plan:
1. I open a Hong Kong based Ltd. company
2. I'm a Polish employed by this HK Ltd. company
3. I receive letters of invitation from my suppliers in China and obtain a business visa on a regular basis.
4. I have an appartment in China and stay on my business visa there conducting all my business: Find EU customers for my Chinese suppliers; add my commision; reinvoice through Hong Kong to keep my supplier anonymous.

Is it legal ? Where do I have to pay tax ? Where can I apply for tax exemption?

I'm green as far as tax law is concerned. Please help me.
