信息技術已經滲透到我們生活的各個領域，同時影響著銀行的虛擬化。
傳統實體銀行的流動性不如虛擬銀行，虛擬銀行能夠提供新形態的服務，滿足不同客戶的需求。這種銀行業務的主要特點是通過互聯網進行,一些只是通過 手機app可以用的。
從世界上第一家虛擬銀行開業的那一刻起， “網絡銀行安全第一”的口號過了22年。直到2017年，香港宣布將開創“智能銀行的新時代”。截至2020年，已經有8家虛擬銀行開始運作，ZA銀行、Airstar銀行、Ant銀行、Livi銀行、Fusion銀行、Mox銀行、平安銀行、WeLab銀行。其中一些銀行仍處于測試模式。Za銀行有限公司是香港首家推出為新客戶發行借記卡的虛擬銀行，也操作外國彙款。
香港金融管理局(金管局)預計,虛擬銀行的推出不僅能壯大高新産業的發展，對于零售業也是一大進步 。而是大部分虛擬銀行之服務個人需求，任然不做企業服務。 我們公司將幫助您了解在香港和中國銀行賬戶設立的情況。
香港稅收制度具有以下基本的特點:
1. 香港稅收制度以地域為徵收稅項的基礎。 只對來自香港的利潤及收入徵稅。 來自香港境外的利潤及收入一律都不進行徵稅,即使這些利潤及收入在香港流通過。
2. 在香港境內,依靠任何形式經營活動的法人,都需要在香港繳納利得稅。 法人包括在香港註冊的公司、法團、合夥商號、信託人或團體。
3企業納稅年度發生的虧損,准予向以後年度結轉,用以後年度的所得彌補,但結轉年限最長不得超過五年。 當彌補以前年度虧損為零時,利得稅才進行徵收。
4. 香港利得稅的稅率是定額稅率。 香港利得稅稅率為16.5%、不過對於年收入低於400萬美元的小微企業,香港稅局對其進行優惠,利得稅稅率減至8%這實際上是世界上最低的利得稅稅率。
