Q: "Is a business registration required if one only conducts second-hand goods trading on online platforms?" A: "Regardless of whether the goods are new or second-hand, if the buying and selling activities constitute a 'business' as defined under the Business Registration Ordinance and are carried out in Hong Kong, the operator is required to apply for business registration under the ordinance. Any person who fails to register a business operated in Hong Kong as required by law is liable to a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine and one year of imprisonment."
