TRADING ON GOOD FRIDAY & EASTER MONDAY

Can I trade as a business on Good Friday or Easter Monday this year? 

The opening of businesses on Good Friday and Easter Monday is currently governed by the Public Holidays Ordinance, which states that on both of these days, offices, shops, workshops and factories are prohibited from opening.

However the Attorney General’s Chambers has confirmed that temporary market stalls, taxis and bus tours etc, do not fall within the definition of ‘offices, shops, workshops and factories’. Such businesses can operate as normal on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
