Hong Kong Stock Exchange supports payment of stamp duty and related trading fees in RMB.

According to the Wise Finance and Economics APP, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today (July 17) welcomed the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to publish the "2026 Stamp Duty (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance" in the Gazette. The Ordinance stipulates that stamp duty for dual-counter securities Renminbi counter transactions shall be calculated and paid in Renminbi. In order to provide a more convenient and consistent payment mechanism for exchange participants, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will also make corresponding arrangements to support exchange participants in paying the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission transaction levy, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority transaction levy, the investor compensation levy (currently suspended), and the fees payable to the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (collectively referred to as transaction-related fees) in Renminbi.
