Compliance and incorporation playbook
Licences and regulatory approvals
Activities under this code trigger the following licensing regimes. Emerhub prepares and files each application on your behalf.
Hire Car Permit / Passenger Service Licence
Transport Department
Under the Road Traffic Ordinance (Cap. 374), a private car may not be used to carry passengers for hire or reward unless a hire car permit is in force, with permits issued for hotel, tour and private (limousine) hire car services; applicants must show genuine demand and, for limousine permits, deploy vehicles with a taxable value over HK$300,000. Operators of non-franchised public bus services must instead hold a Passenger Service Licence with a Passenger Service Licence Certificate for each bus. Permits are non-transferable and lapse if vehicle ownership changes.

MPF enrolment for employees
Employers enrol every Hong Kong employee aged 18 to 64 employed for 60 days or more in an MPF scheme. Employer and employee each contribute 5% of relevant income, capped at HKD 1,500 per month each. Emerhub administers MPF enrolment and monthly contributions under its payroll service.

Annual audit with SME reporting exemption
Every Hong Kong company files audited financial statements; there is no small-company audit exemption as in Singapore. Small private companies meeting any two of revenue at or below HKD 100 million, assets at or below HKD 100 million, or 100 or fewer employees qualify for the reporting exemption and prepare simplified accounts under the SME Financial Reporting Standard, which lowers audit preparation cost. Emerhub structures client accounts under the reporting exemption wherever the criteria are met.
