Hong Kong's Comprehensive Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement with Armenia in force

**************************************************************************************

     Hong Kong's Comprehensive Avoidance of Double Taxation Agreement (CDTA) with Armenia signed in June last year came into force on April 9, 2025, after completion of relevant ratification procedures. The CDTA will be applicable to Hong Kong tax for any year of assessment beginning on or after April 1, 2026.

     "Under the CDTA, companies and residents of Hong Kong and Armenia will not have to pay tax twice on a single source of income. The CDTA will allow them to have certainty on tax liabilities and save tax when they engage in cross-border business activities, thus helping to promote bilateral trade and investment. To date, Hong Kong has signed CDTAs with 51 tax jurisdictions," a Government spokesman said.

     The CDTA is available on the Hong Kong e-Legislation website.
