In the case of the dissolution of a corporation, an association or an estate, a deadline of one month after the occurrence of the reportable event applies. This deadline must also be observed in the event of a transfer of management or registered office.

In all other cases, you must inform the tax office yourself. In this case, inform the tax office informally of when you ceased or transferred which activity. Please also submit any contracts or resolutions related to the deregistration or transfer.
