The above information is sourced from the prevailing information provided by HKEx, and may be subject to amendment as the implementation of China Connect and issuance of the relevant regulations and rules progresses.

Notes:

  • All the above fees and levies will be collected from CCASS Participants’ designated bank accounts at day-end of trade day.
  • The Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) in China have provided a temporary exemption to Hong Kong and foreign investors from the capital gain tax and business tax in relation to gains derived from trading of eligible SSE/SZSE securities via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. There is a risk that investors in SSE/SZSE securities may be subject to capital gains tax and/or business tax in the future once the temporary exemption is no longer in force. Investors should consider this risk when investing in SSE/SZSE securities.
  • China Withholding Income Tax on Dividends will be withheld by issuers of SSE/SZSE securities and ChinaClear upon dividend payment.
  • For investors whose residing country has entered into a tax treaty with China which allows them enjoying a lower dividend tax rate, the investors may apply to the relevant tax authority for a refund of the differences.
  • Please note that both stock and cash settlement of all A Shares stock trading conducted through Standard Chartered will be settled on trade day.
 

Risk Disclosure Statement:

  • Investment involves risks. The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically and may become valueless. Past performance of any securities is no guide to its future performance. Investors should consider their own investment objectives and risk tolerance level, and read the Terms and Conditions of relevant Securities Services before making any investment decision.
  • Renminbi ("RMB") exchange rate, like any other currency, is affected by a wide range of factors and is subject to fluctuations. Such fluctuations may result in gains and losses in the event that the client subsequently converts RMB to another currency (including Hong Kong dollars); and
  • RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks in Hong Kong is subject to restrictions specified by the Bank and regulatory requirements applicable from time to time. The actual conversion arrangement will depend on the restrictions prevailing at the relevant time.
