Business registration; business deregistration

If you give up the operation of your business, the business must be deregistered. The same applies if you relocate your business to another municipality. You must then deregister your business at the previous location and re-register it at the new location. If you relocate your business within the municipality, a business re-registration is sufficient.

The business deregistration can be submitted in text form using the form provided to the municipality in which the activity is carried out or to the responsible Chamber of Industry and Commerce or Chamber of Crafts. If a competent authority provides an online procedure, the business deregistration can be submitted electronically via this procedure.

Other authorities (e.g. tax office, Chamber of Crafts or Chamber of Industry and Commerce) will also be informed of the business deregistration. Please note that, irrespective of this, the cessation of the business must be declared to the tax office as part of the income tax return.

The notification must be made when the commercial activity is discontinued or the business is relocated.
