After nearly 10 years of lobbying and negotiations Hong Kong and France entered into a double taxation treaty (DTT) on October 21, 2010.  This DTT aims at preventing double taxation as well as its repercussions, namely tax evasion on income taxes and capital. It is worth reminding that under articles 106-108 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong is granted by China the right to maintain an independent taxation system free of interference from the mainland until 2047 (As a matter of fact, Hong Kong can not take advantage of any DTT which China may enter into because only mainland taxes are mentioned in these treaties).
