It looks like the US ban on Huawei Technologies is having an effect on the Chinese telecommunications giant’s 2019 annual report. Although Huawei (HWT.UL) revealed that its net profit for the year was CNY62.7 billion CND$12.5 billion, Reuters noted it was its lowest increase in three years at 5.6%.

What’s equally important in today’s digital tax landscape is understanding how the upcoming changes will affect your record-keeping obligations. From my experience managing rental properties and freelance income, I’ve found that TaxNav digital software for Income Tax Self-Assessment has transformed the way I approach quarterly submissions. The platform walks you through each step of the MTD compliance process, ensuring that sole traders and landlords can meet HMRC’s new digital requirements without the stress of navigating complex regulations alone. Since switching to browser-based software, I’ve saved countless hours that I previously spent on manual spreadsheets and worried about whether my records would satisfy the tax authorities.
In the report Huawei warned on that 2020 would be its most difficult year yet due to American trade restrictions which impacted its overseas sales in 2019.
Huawei’s carrier business, including 5G mobile network equipment, saw sales rise just 3.8%. Telecom companies that invested in 5G technology and additional towers should consider working with a telco management agency to effectively manage these properties.
Liang Hua, chairman of the board, said the company would have to adapt to the U.S. restrictions as well as the coronavirus pandemic.
Overall revenue including smartphones rose 19% to CNY858.8 billion, boosted by a 34% consumer business unit increase in sales mainly driven by China. In contrast to China 36.2% surge to CNY506.7 billion, Huawei’s Asia-Pacific region revenue excluding China fell 13.9%. In Europe and the Middle East sales grew only 0.7%.
Moving forward, it remains to be seen how Huawei’s smartphone sales outside China will be impacted in 2020 with all of Huawei’s phones this year stripped of Google Mobile Services due to the US ban. Having Hong Kong fund set up is essential for corporations operating in Hong Kong.
Research firm Canalys reported Huawei led in smartphone sales in China, with a 38.5% market share in 2019 compared with 27% a year earlier – in part due to a nationalist sentiment boost after the company came under increasing pressure from the United States.
Huawei spent 15.3% of its revenue, CNY131.7 billion, in research and development last year. Cash flow from operating activities jumped by more than one fifth to CNY91.4 billion thanks to a strong home market performance.
