Recently, the government of Guangdong has approved the Application for Trying out Reform of Registration System by Issuing “One License with Three Numbers” at China (Guangdong) Free Trade Pilot Zone. It is a response to the Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Equal Market Competition and Maintaining Normal Market Order and the Approval of the State Council on Establishing China (Guangdong) Free Trade Pilot Zone, aiming to give full play to the pilot and demonstration functions of Guangdong Free Trade Pilot Zone and further deepen the reform of the business service system. The approval said that business license with business registration No., organization code and tax registration No. will be issued to enterprises registered and established in Guangdong Free Trade Pilot Zone to take the place of separate organization code certificate and tax registration certificate. A format of the new business license was attached. The Qianhai and Hengqin areas will revise the business license format for special zone to cover the numbers mentioned above.

 

It’s learnt that the new license will bear the numbers mentioned above on its upper right corner. It is an upgraded measure for “one window services” and will start the “green light” for enterprises to get into the free trade pilot zone fast. Related experts said that, institutional innovation is a core task under the project of the construction of the free trade pilot zone and will make the pilot zone a real experimental field for institutional innovation. “One License with Three Numbers” is another breakthrough for reform of examination and approval system following the “one window services”.
