As more jurisdictions open up to foreign trade, companies can gain access to a large pool of resources abroad. They can establish relationships with foreign partners and relocate their production to foreign locations or simply export their products to new markets. IT and software development companies are also trying to capitalize on moving production to foreign jurisdictions.
In general, the main advantages to offshore software development is lower cost compared to home country. For example, the cost of developing the exact same software in India is 50% lower than in the US. The savings generally come from lower labor costs, but offshoring IT and software production offshore can also expand the company's access to a broader pool of workers with higher skills and expertise. This could explain why 50% of America's Fortune 500 companies use offshore IT and software development. Let's look at some of the jurisdictions where opening a software development company might be more beneficial compared to others and discuss the reasons why.
India India has long been one of the preferred software development outsourcing destinations for leading multinational companies around the world. This means that one of the biggest advantages of choosing India for your IT and software development business would be multinational demand for outsourced software development services. Meanwhile, the company would benefit from relatively lower labor costs, a broad pool of skilled workers, and a business-friendly environment with the government encouraging start-ups and small businesses. Furthermore, the IT industry is expected to grow in the early to mid teens in the coming years due to favorable political and economic initiatives by the Indian government.
United Kingdom London was recently described as the city with the most opportunities for business and took first place in terms of technology readiness. While low labor costs are not among the benefits of starting a software development business in London, there are several other benefits that could offset relatively higher wages. Numerous hubs and incubators offer young start-ups and small companies an environment with all the necessary functions and support for less than 300 euros a month. The government is also committed to supporting the software development and technology sectors with organizations such as Tech City UK and Innovate UK with the aim of accelerating the growth of IT companies. Various tax benefits are now available to IT and software development companies in London. Other benefits to consider include a skilled workforce and high-speed Internet access.
Poland Eastern Europe is becoming more and more attractive for IT and software development companies, with Poland ranking as the number one Eastern European country. While Poland may not offer as low labor costs as India, it can offer other advantages such as proximity to Western Europe and the ability to find common working hours with the rest of the world. Poland also shares a cultural affinity with the western world as well as other eastern countries. It is also believed to offer better product quality and business environment compared to lower cost targets for software development companies.
Each continent has additional jurisdictions to consider for registering an IT company - each with their own benefits and characteristics:
America: Brazil, Argentina and Chile; Asia/Pacific: China; Europe: Romania, Belarus and Ukraine. The above countries have large enough populations to have a broad labor pool and good education systems to produce skilled software developers. The business risks in these countries are manageable and the costs are reasonable compared to the USA, Canada and Western Europe.
It is important to remember that while a particular jurisdiction may be considered the best place to start an IT business for one entrepreneur, it may not be suitable for another. Consider the necessities your business is most interested in. This can be language, geographic location, regulation of specific activities, skilled labor, or cost.

Considered one of the most open and outward-facing economies in the world, Hong Kong is probably the best place to do business. First, it has a great location in the geographical center of Asia, which provides quick and easy access to the region's major markets. Located on the south-east coast of China, Hong Kong is the world's largest single market, not least because its economy is built on free trade, free enterprise and the free market that is open to all: there are no restrictions on foreign or foreign investment and no trade barriers like Quotas, tariffs or exceptions. In addition, there are no restrictions on the nationality of any sector or company, no exchange controls, and a simple tax system in this jurisdiction. Hong Kong also has the lowest corporate tax rate (currently 16.5%) of any major Asian economy.
Taxation and the tax system in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is often referred to as a tax haven because tax rates are very low – dividends, offshore income, and capital gains are not taxed at all. Hong Kong applies the territorial source principle when collecting taxes. This means that income is generally only taxed if it comes from doing business or trading within Hong Kong. Nonetheless, there are a small number of sources of income to which the territorial source principle does not apply, and that income is taxed at the source (e.g. royalties received by non-residents for the use of literary property or copyrighted material).
Hong Kong has a scheduler income tax system, which means that different types of income are taxed separately. Taxes on corporations are: corporate income tax (tax on income from business, professional services or commerce in Hong Kong), wage tax (tax on income from employment, office or pension), and wealth tax (tax on income earned on Hong Kong real estate).
For corporate income tax, the rate is 15% for unincorporated companies and 16.5% for corporations (the lowest in the region, compared to 17% in Singapore and 25% in mainland China). Investment income is not subject to taxation. Dividends from local companies are subject to taxation, but dividends from foreign companies are not, as they are offshore in nature. The tax residence is not important for the calculation of the profit tax, but only for agreements or agreements on double taxation.
The wage tax is levied progressively on a scale between 2% and 17% or at the standard rate of 15%. Salary tax includes salaries, bonuses, commissions, pensions, vacation pay, fees, allowances, etc. There is a 60-day income exemption, which means that anyone who visits Hong Kong for less than 60 days per calendar year is exempt from payroll tax. In some cases, however, depending on the employment relationship, a tax return is required. Hong Kong property tax is currently 15% payable by the owner of the building or land.
Advantages of choosing Hong Kong
There are many benefits to starting a business in Hong Kong. First of all, company registration is easy and inexpensive. Your biggest expense will be the flight to open your bank account, although in some cases it can be done remotely. Hong Kong has an excellent, world-renowned banking system and an excellent communication infrastructure. There is no minimum share capital requirement and only one shareholder and one director is required to set up a limited liability company. In addition, there are no restrictions on foreign directors or shareholders with Hong Kong based companies. The main business language is English – one of the official languages in Hong Kong. All communications, information and documents can be created in English.
As you can see, Hong Kong is a great place for your business for many reasons. It is an international economic center with a reliable and stable legal system, a cosmopolitan spirit and strong and established institutions. With its pro-business government, Hong Kong has been voted the most liberal economy in the world for 20 years in a row. It is probably the ideal choice whether you are starting or continuing your business adventure.
