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 activities related to providing expert advice and services in the field of information technology. It includes computer consultancy services, management of computer facilities, and electronic engineering services specifically for computer and telecommunications equipment.
This classification includes
- computer consultancy services
- computer equipment management services
- computer hardware consultation services
- electronic circuit designing services related to computer and telecommunications equipment
- electronic engineering services related to computer and telecommunications equipment
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
MediumWhile some IT consultancy services can be performed remotely, many contracts are negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. Additionally, clients may expect local support and presence, making it less likely for profits to qualify for offshore treatment.
