Ready to move to the UK and now ask Mr. Wei, a local taxation Hong Kong businessman: Maybe please return to the local Hong Kong people

Mr. Wei, who has set up a watch accessories factory in the Mainland, is planning to immigrate to the UK next year, so he went to the exhibition today to inquire about the taxation of his local business.

He revealed that because the British BNO "5+1" program is attractive, no investment or additional conditions are required, and the living conditions are better than those in Hong Kong, so he considered moving to the United Kingdom last year.

At present, he plans to transport the machinery of the factory from the Mainland to the United Kingdom at the end of this year. Together with the local processing procedures and employees, it is estimated that it will be able to "come back to Dongshan again" as soon as the middle of next year.

The annual rent of the whole building is only HK$70,000: Hong Kong will not rent it

Wei revealed that the factory building in the outskirts of Manchester, Britain, is cheap for rents. It can be rented for a year for 1 year for only about 70,000 Hong Kong dollars. He revealed that half of the Hong Kong companies related to watches and clocks in the Mainland have closed down or withdrawn their capital, and the remaining factories are mainly foreign famous watchmakers.

The mainland's epidemic prevention policy is strict, and the factory has been shut down many times.

Wei explained that the current mainland's epidemic prevention and zero-clearing policies hinder business development. Apart from being unable to manage business in the mainland, the factory has also been closed many times.

However, salaries in the Mainland have continued to increase, making it difficult to continue operating.

Therefore, after comparing the living and business conditions of the three places, he believes that immigration is the best choice.

After immigrating, he plans to start a business and enjoy life at the same time. After the business is on track, he will arrange for his son to develop locally: "People in their 50s will go and start a new business first."

Exhibitors said that this year, Hong Kong immigrants are ready to consider carefully for half a year to a year before making a decision

She believes that Hong Kong people considering immigration mainly consider many factors, including children's education, social and cultural changes, political reasons and other unstable factors.

Last year, Hong Kong immigrants had a relatively short preparation time, leaving Hong Kong in only two months. On the other hand, this year, Hong Kong residents prepared carefully, about half a year to a year.
