Our services

Incentive plan administrationAward tracking and vesting schedules for equity grants and bonus schemes.

Incentive plans — equity grants, bonus schemes, deferred compensation — carry their own administrative requirements once they extend to employees in a new jurisdiction: award tracking, vesting schedules, and the tax reporting each triggers locally, none of which the plan's home-jurisdiction administrator is typically set up to handle for a Hainan-based participant.

Local individual income tax reportingIncentive income reported correctly under PRC rules as awards vest or exercise.

The individual income tax treatment of incentive income is where this most often goes wrong in practice — a vesting event or an exercised award has to be reported and taxed correctly under PRC rules regardless of how the plan documentation characterises it in its home jurisdiction, and a mismatch surfaces as a personal tax liability for the employee, not an administrative footnote.

Coordinated with home-jurisdiction structuringLocal administration coordinated with your plan's own legal and tax structuring, not designed by us.

We support this administrative layer for incentive plans extended to employees connected to the Hainan Free Trade Port, coordinating with the plan's own legal and tax structuring rather than designing it ourselves, and handling the local tax reporting the plan's home administrator isn't positioned to do.
