Self-employed persons (SEPs) are required to enrol themselves in an MPF scheme and open an SEP account within the first 60 days of becoming self-employed.
Enrolment procedure
- SEPs are free to choose their own MPF schemes
- Directly contact the trustees of their chosen schemes to set up their SEP accounts
- Sign a participating agreement
- Fill in an enrolment form indicating their choice of MPF funds, relevant income, and contribution frequency (monthly or annually)
- Complete a tax residency self-certification (i.e. declaration on whether the SEP is a tax resident outside Hong Kong)
- Return the completed form to the trustee to set up an account
If an SEP fails to provide the tax residency self-certification, the trustee will not be able to complete the account opening procedure.
Notice of participation
After an SEP has been accepted as a member of an MPF scheme, the trustee will issue a notice of participation to the member.
The notice will include:
- name of the MPF scheme in which the member is enrolled
- name and address of the trustee
- name of the scheme member
- issue date of the notice
Failure to enrol in an MPF scheme
If an SEP fails to enrol in an MPF scheme on time, the SEP is liable to a maximum fine of $50,000 and imprisonment for six months.
