Why 6 digits?

HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.

This subclass covers the operation of taxi services specifically in the New Territories region of Hong Kong. It includes activities by taxi operators who own and operate their own vehicles, as well as those who rent their vehicles to other operators for providing taxi services.

This classification includes

  • New Territories taxis operators
  • New Territories taxis owners, operating own vehicles
  • New Territories taxis owners, renting own vehicles to other operators

Licences and approvals

What this activity needs to operate

No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Low

This activity is inherently tied to Hong Kong as taxis operate within its geographical boundaries. Contracts for services are typically negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong, and the services are performed for local customers, making offshore treatment unlikely.
