RMB Payment Arrangements for Stamp Duty and Trading Related Fees

In conjunction with the Stamp Duty (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 2026, which enables the calculation and payment of stamp duty arising from transactions in dual-counter stocks executed in the Renminbi (“RMB”) counter in RMB, HKEX will also facilitate the settlement of the SFC Transaction Levy, AFRC Transaction Levy, Investor Compensation Levy (currently suspended) and trading fee payable to the Exchange (collectively, “Trading Related Fees”) in RMB, thereby providing Exchange Participants with a more streamlined and coherent payment framework.

The implementation date is expected to be around mid-2027, subject to the Government’s commencement notice, regulatory approval and market readiness.

This page provides a centralized point of information for market participants’ reference on the implementation details.
