About the Significant Controllers Register ("SCR")
The Companies Ordinance (Cap.622) ("CO") has been amended to require a company incorporated in Hong Kong to identify persons who have significant control over the company ("significant controllers") and to maintain a significant controllers register ("SCR") to be accessible by law enforcement officers upon demand. The "Significant Controllers Register" should maintain the most updated information of the company’s #significant controllers and it’s *designated representative. Failure to comply with the above obligations is a criminal offence.
1. What is a Company Secretary and what responsibility does it have?
A company Secretary’s main role is to ensure a company and its operation are in statutory compliance with requirements of the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong which includes filing of Annual Returns and updating and maintenance of statutory books to the Companies Registry regarding changes of the company.
2. Is it compulsory for a limited company to appoint a Company Secretary?
According to the Companies Ordinance section 474 (Chapter 622), it is required by law for every company to appoint a Company Secretary.
3. Can the sole director of a private company be a shareholder and the Company Secretary at the same time?
Pursuant to section 475 of the Companies Ordinance, one can be the sole director and shareholder of a private company but can not act as its Company Secretary at the same time.
4. If I am not a resident of Hong Kong, can I be appointed as a Company Secretary?
According to the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, a HK company secretary must satisfy the following requirements:
In the case of the company secretary being a natural person, he/she must be ordinarily residing in Hong Kong
In the case of the company secretary being a body corporate, its registered office or place of business must be in Hong Kong
5. Can I use my company to provide Company Service to other companies that belong to me?
As a rule of thumb, the company in question is not required to apply for a Trust or Company Service Providers (TCSP) licence if the following conditions are met:-
you are a member of a group of companies;
there is no receipt of service fee in respect of the company services provided by you to other members of the group; and
you provide company services to other members of the group only but not to any other person.
The above serves as an example of when a TCSP licence is not required. In other situations where a member of a corporate group provides company services solely to other group members, it would not normally be considered to be providing the services by way of business and would not normally be required to apply for a TCSP licence. Feel free to make an appointment with BBC for further consultation should you have any queries.
