What is the Discontinuation/Continuing of Business?

The discontinuation of business means that

  • the company will “suspend business“ and may apply for resumption of business at any time in the future, but still needs to make settlement declarations. If the period of suspension exceeds one year, the company must apply to the competent authority for renewal of suspension every year.
  • If the company has suspended its business for more than one month, it should apply for registration of suspension of business within 15 days before or after the date of cessation of business, and the maximum period of suspension should not exceed one year each time.

Service Authorities of Business Discontinuation/Continuing Registration

In order to facilitate the company’s application for business discontinuation/continuing registration, if the company’s suspension of business is approved by the national tax authority where the company is located, it is not necessary to apply for the business discontinuation/continuing registration with the competent company registration authority again.
