The Beneficial Owner Declaration Form is a crucial compliance document required under Hong Kong's Companies Ordinance, specifically following the 2018 amendments that introduced the Significant Controllers Register regime. This form must be completed when there are changes in beneficial ownership or when establishing new corporate entities in Hong Kong. It collects comprehensive information about individuals who own or control 25% or more of a company's shares, voting rights, or exercise significant control through other means. The form supports Hong Kong's commitment to corporate transparency and its obligations under international anti-money laundering standards. It must be maintained as part of the company's statutory records and be available for inspection by law enforcement agencies upon request.
