If you are operating in a field of activity subject to notification or authorisation obligation, your activities must, at all times, comply with the conditions based on which you applied for the activity license or submitted the notice of economic activity.
If the data of your economic activities changes, you have to notify the authority managing the related register of notices of economic activities within 5 days.
Changing the data of an activity licence in general requires notification of related authority 30 days prior to making the changes.
Confirmation of activity licenses and notices of economic activity
As an entrepreneur you have to confirm the correctness of your data in a register that manages activity licences or notices of economic activities once a year by submitting your annual report or by filing company taxes. Please check your data (address, business name, activities etc.) before confirming its correctness and change the data if necessary.
An entrepreneur that is not obliged to confirm correctness of the data (a branch of a foreign company, for example) shall confirm the correctness of its data at the Register of Economic Activities (MTR).
Revoking an activity licence and deleting a notice of economic activity
Your activity license is revoked if it is determined that:
- you have deliberately filed misinformation that had positively influenced issuing of the licence;
- your company has abandoned its economic activity;
- your company is wound up judicially or a prohibition on activity is imposed on your company;
- your company failed to start business operations within two years since the activity licence was issued or within the term set by the secondary conditions of the activity licence;
- you have severely violated the primary or secondary conditions of the activity licence;
- the activity permitted with activity licence causes major damage or hazard to public order, which did not exist or was not known at the moment of granting of the activity licence, and which outbalances your interest to continue the activity, and which cannot be eliminated with amendment of the activity licence;
- change of the precondition for receiving the activity licence.
In the case of any shortcomings in meeting the requirements, you will be given an opportunity to rectify these first. If you are unable to comply with the requirements, your activity license is revoked.
Changing and deleting data
If you want to change, suspend or delete the data of your activity licence or your notice of economic activity, then submit an application to the authority (for example, the Register of Economic Activities that manages the activity licence or the notice of economic activity. If there is no way to submit the application for changes or deletion electronically directly to the register, you are free to submit the application on paper or by e-mail as long as you mark what should be changed or deleted. If a company ends its operation, it is obligated to submit a notice of discontinuation of economic activities.
