Situations That Need Prompt Attention
Seeing these situations? Review the books and filings first
No income does not mean nothing to do — some jurisdictions still require annual returns, tax filings, audits or renewals. Checking early avoids discovering missing documents right before a deadline.
E-commerce or DTC operations
Marketplace orders, refunds, fees, ad spend, inventory and bank receipts must be reconciled together so income and expenses are not misstated.
Trading, consulting or SaaS billing
Confirm which entity signs contracts, where services are performed and which account receives funds; keep invoices and cost records.
Multiple entities, accounts or currencies
Intercompany transfers, shareholder loans and paid-on-behalf expenses must be recorded promptly or they become hard to explain in filings, audits or banking.
Overdue filings or official notices
Read what the notice says, which year it covers and the reply deadline, then supply documents, file late returns or submit explanations.
Banking, fundraising or platform review
Banks, investors or platforms may request financial statements, tax returns, business descriptions and source-of-funds proof — preparing early reduces back-and-forth.
What a Company Does Each Year
Overseas compliance is more than "filing tax once a year"
Incorporation, first revenues, annual filings and business changes each bring different obligations.
Set up the books after incorporation
Confirm entity type, financial year end, tax IDs and first-year obligations.
Routine bookkeeping
Organize bank statements, platform reports, contracts, invoices, costs and expenses regularly.
Monthly or quarterly filings
File sales tax, GST, payroll and other recurring items as required.
Annual returns and tax filing
Complete annual reports, corporate income tax, audits and company record updates on time.
Re-check when things change
New business lines, shareholder changes, cross-border payments or winding up may trigger new obligations.
What We Can Handle
From routine bookkeeping to catch-up filings and audits
Based on registration jurisdiction, business type, transaction volume and account count, we arrange the bookkeeping, filing, annual return or audit work needed — avoiding missed items and repeated document requests.

Catch-up bookkeeping and filings
If books or filings are missing for past years, we identify the gaps first, then plan the catch-up work.

- Help respond to tax notices and submit documents
Pre-deregistration review
Even a dormant company may need a final filing, payment or tax ID closure before deregistration.

- Check unpaid taxes, liabilities and receivables
- Help close accounts, tax IDs and licences
- Keep deregistration documents and the final company file
How It Differs by Jurisdiction
The US, Hong Kong and Singapore each work differently
See the typical annual-return, tax and audit items for each jurisdiction. Exact forms and deadlines depend on your company’s actual situation.
United States
United States: Confirm entity type and shareholder status first
How a US LLC files depends on member count, shareholders’ tax status and the entity’s tax election. On top of that, check state annual reports, state taxes, sales tax and payroll filings separately.
Single-member LLC
Review owner status, owner transactions and required information forms
Multi-member LLC
Usually files as a partnership and issues member tax statements
C Corporation
Handles corporate tax, owner transactions and state requirements separately
Multi-state sales
Check whether sales, inventory or staff create sales tax nexus anywhere
- Federal returns and information forms
- State annual reports, franchise tax or state income tax
- Sales tax registration, filings and exemption certificates
- Check 1099, payroll or contractor reporting needs
- Handle IRS or state notices and catch up missed filings
Hong Kong
Hong Kong: Bookkeeping, audit and profits tax go together
Hong Kong companies with real operations normally complete bookkeeping and audit before filing the profits tax return. Offshore-claim applications depend on where the business actually takes place and the supporting evidence.
Profits tax
First return usually issued about 18 months after incorporation, then annually
Audit requirement
Companies with bank flows, orders or contracts normally need an audit first
Offshore claim
Requires explaining where business occurs with contracts and logistics proof
Annual return
File NAR1 with the Companies Registry and pay the fee each year
- Bookkeeping from bank statements, contracts and invoices
- Audit report issued by a HK-licensed CPA
- Profits tax return filing and replies to IRD queries
- Annual return (NAR1) and business registration renewal
- Employer’s return and employee remuneration data if applicable
Singapore
Singapore: ACRA filings and IRAS tax run in parallel
Singapore companies handle ACRA annual filings and IRAS corporate income tax separately each year. Audit exemption and ECI filing depend on revenue, assets and shareholding.
Annual filing
Submit the annual return to ACRA and hold the AGM
Corporate income tax
Estimate and file ECI for the financial year, then the tax return
Audit exemption
Qualifying small companies may skip statutory audit
GST
Register and file periodically once turnover passes the threshold
- Bookkeeping and financial statement preparation
- Assess audit exemption eligibility
- ECI and Form C-S/C filing arrangements
- AGM and annual return deadline management
- GST registration review and filings if applicable
BVI · Cayman · UK etc.
Other jurisdictions: Mostly renewals and annual filings, checked per jurisdiction
For BVI, Cayman, UK and similar registries, work is mostly annual renewals, periodic filings and economic substance requirements. Whether tax is due depends on local tax rules and where the business actually operates.
Annual renewal
Renew licence, registered agent or business registration fees by anniversary
Periodic filings
File annual returns or register director and member details as required
Economic substance
Relevant entities must assess and report substance requirements
Tax residency
Determine local filing duty based on where business is actually managed
- Annual fee and filing deadline reminders
- Registers of directors and members kept up to date
- Economic substance filings and supporting files
- Certificates of good standing and similar documents
- Reconciliation with tax duties where the business operates
Bookkeeping for Cross-border E-commerce
Marketplace payouts are not the company’s final revenue
Reconcile marketplace orders, payment accounts, bank statements, logistics, ad spend and multi-currency data to work out actual revenue, costs and expenses — for filings, audits and management visibility.
All of these can be organized in one place
Tell us your channels and we will match orders, refunds, platform fees, logistics, inventory, advertising and bank receipts line by line.
- Reconcile orders, refunds and actual marketplace payouts
- Separate taxes already collected by platforms
- Organize procurement, first-mile, warehousing and logistics costs
- Classify ad spend, commissions and payment fees
- Handle multi-currency receipts and exchange differences
- Record related-party collections, payments and internal transfers

FAQ
Common questions about overseas bookkeeping and tax
Brief answers to common situations. Actual treatment depends on the registration jurisdiction and your company’s documents.
Does an overseas company with no income still need filings?
Possibly. No income does not mean nothing is due — some jurisdictions still require annual reports, tax information or renewal of business registration, registered agent and company secretary.
When should bookkeeping start?
From incorporation, account opening or the first transaction. Save bank statements, platform reports, contracts, invoices and expense vouchers monthly — year-end work becomes much faster.
Does a US single-member LLC never pay tax?
Not necessarily. Tax depends on the owner’s tax status, income source, the entity’s tax election and state rules. Even without income tax, information forms, state annual reports, state fees or sales tax filings may apply.
What should a foreign-owned US single-member LLC watch for?
Focus on transactions with the foreign owner and information reporting. Certain foreign-owned single-member LLCs must file Form 5472 with a pro-forma Form 1120 — even with no income, this cannot be ignored.
Can a Hong Kong company keep filing nil returns?
Long-term nil returns are not advisable. Check whether there are bank flows, marketplace orders, contracts or other transactions. With real operations, proper bookkeeping plus audit and profits tax filing is normally required.
Are Hong Kong offshore profits automatically tax-free?
No. An offshore claim requires explaining where contracts were signed, where business was negotiated, where services were performed, how goods moved, who decided, and where money was received — with supporting evidence. IRD decides based on the file.
Does a dormant Singapore company still file?
Usually check both ACRA annual filing and IRAS corporate tax. A truly dormant company may qualify for exemptions, but eligibility and whether the exemption has taken effect must be confirmed.
When is sales tax, VAT or GST registration required?
It depends on where you sell, sales volume, where inventory or staff are located, and whether platforms already collect the tax. Past the local threshold, you may need to register and file monthly, quarterly or annually.
Can we catch up on several years of missed filings?
Usually yes. Identify which years were missed, what documents are missing, whether notices were received, and possible penalties. The earlier you act, the easier it is to restore good standing.
Can you maintain US, HK and Singapore companies together?
Yes — scheduling and documents can be coordinated, but each company still files under its own jurisdiction. Keep contracts, service descriptions and payment records for intercompany transfers.
Why can’t you quote "one company, one year" up front?
Fees depend on jurisdiction, entity type, transaction volume, account and currency count, inventory or staff, sales tax/GST/audit needs, and any past overdue history. Only after reviewing these can we quote accurately.
What basic information do you need before consulting?
Registration jurisdiction, entity type, incorporation date, shareholders, business activities, sales regions, whether accounts are open, whether there are flows, past filing history, and the most urgent issue.
Actual tax, audit and legal treatment depends on company documents and the latest local requirements. Tax amounts, approvals and penalty relief cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Check First, Then File
