Workshop on MPF Policy and Advanced Skills in Using the eMPF Platform

With the latest changes to MPF Guidelines (May 2025), the MPFA has issued eight sets of revised MPF guidelines. The purposes of the revisions to the eight sets of guidelines are mainly to support the implementation of the company re-domiciliation regime under the Companies (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 2025 which takes effect on 23 May 2025.
