(a) Sums received by a foreign film production company for allowing a Hong Kong television company to show in Hong Kong certain designated films it produced offshore Hong Kong. The film production company has no representative office or agent in Hong Kong.

(b) Sums representing royalty received by a foreign patent owning company under a licensing agreement with its associate company in Hong Kong. The patent was previously owned by the Hong Kong associate which subsequently sold the patent right to the foreign patent owning company. The patent was then licensed to the Hong Kong associate for its use in Hong Kong at a royalty.

(c) Profits earned by a manufacturing company from its sale of products in Hong Kong. The products were partly manufactured in Hong Kong and partly in the PRC. The manufacturing activities conducted in the PRC were greatly involved by the manufacturing company in terms of expertise, machinery, raw materials and quality control.

Expert Solution

a) This is chargeable to Hong Kong profits tax during the assessment year 2018-19 beacause the sums are received by a foreign film production company for allowing a Hong Kong television company to show in Hong Kong. Therefore the revenue is generated in Hong Kong irrespective of the fact whther the film production compoany has a representative office or agent in Hong Kong or not.

b) The profit relating to the royalty in the given question was chargeable to tax as the associate company is situated in Hong Kong.

c) The profits earned by a manufacturing company from sale of its products in Hong Kong are chargeable to tax and the fact that whether the products are wholly manufactured in Hong Kong or not is immaterial.
