Hong Kong, Turkey agree on double taxation avoidance in boost for Belt and Road Initiative
Hong Kong has signed an agreement with Turkey to overcome double taxation issues in cross-border trade and investment, a move that also helped widen the city's cooperation with more jurisdictions under Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.
“This milestone is another tangible illustration of Hong Kong's determination to expand tax trading equity,” Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said on Tuesday. It highlights “our commitment to boosting ties and relations with developing local economies,” he added.
Lee said this at the 5th Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation forum. The three-day event at the Asia WorldExpo has attracted more than 400 tax officials, experts and academics.
Total trade between Hong Kong and Turkey grew by 60 per cent from 2014 and 2023. Hong Kong's major exports were engines and motor parts (US$306 million), telecommunication equipment (US$302.3 million) and computers (US$149.7 million). Turkey's biggest exports to Hong Kong was jewellery (US$563.2 million) and engines and motor parts (US$72.8 million).
