Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current Hong Kong stock stamp duty rate?+
The Hong Kong stamp duty rate for stock transactions is 0.13% of the transaction value, effective since August 1, 2021. It applies to both the buyer and the seller — each pays 0.13% on their side. The amount is rounded up to the nearest HK$1. For a HK$100,000 trade, stamp duty is HK$130 per side.
Do I pay stamp duty on both buying and selling?+
Yes. Hong Kong stamp duty is charged on both the purchase and the sale of stocks. If you buy HK$100,000 worth of shares and later sell them for HK$120,000, you pay 0.13% on HK$100,000 when buying (HK$130) and 0.13% on HK$120,000 when selling (HK$156). The total stamp duty for the round trip is HK$286.
What is the CCASS settlement fee and why does it have a cap?+
The CCASS (Central Clearing and Settlement System) fee is charged by HKSCC for settling stock trades. It is 0.002% of the transaction value, with a minimum of HK$2 and a maximum of HK$100 per trade. The HK$100 cap benefits large transactions — a HK$5,000,000 trade pays the same HK$100 CCASS fee as a HK$50,000,000 trade.
How can I minimize trading costs when buying Hong Kong stocks?+
Government fees (stamp duty, SFC levy, HKEX trading fee, CCASS fee) are fixed and unavoidable. The biggest variable cost is brokerage commission. Some brokers like moomoo offer 0% commission for HK stocks, which can save significant amounts on frequent trades. Consolidating small orders into larger ones also reduces per-trade fixed costs like the CCASS minimum fee.
