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 on Lantau Island. It includes activities by operators who own and operate their own taxis, as well as those who rent their vehicles to other taxi operators.
This classification includes
- Lantau taxis operators
- Lantau taxis owners, operating own vehicles
- Lantau 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
LowLantau taxi services are inherently tied to Hong Kong as they operate within its geographical boundaries. Contracts are typically negotiated and executed in Hong Kong, and the services are provided directly to local customers, making offshore treatment unlikely.
