Registering the expiry of the validity period in the trade licensing register

If the validity period of a trade authorisation expires without the entrepreneur making a submission leading to a change in its validity, the trade authorisation will expire with the end of the day that is registered in the trade licensing register as the last day of validity of the trade authorisation.

The trade licensing office then marks the trade with its date of termination and, within 30 days from the date of registration in the trade licensing register, notifies the fact that the trade authorisation has terminated to other administrative authorities specified in Section 48 or Section 55 of the Trade Licensing Act:

• The tax authority that has local competence and carries out income tax administration
• The Czech Statistical Office
• The Social Security Administration that has local competence according to the entrepreneur’s domicile or registered office, in the case of a foreign person according to the place of permitted residence, registered office or location of a branch plant
• The relevant health insurance company, if known to it, or the organisation that maintains a register of all insured persons under general health insurance
• The court that maintains the register in the case of persons who are registered in public registers
• In the case of foreign natural persons, the Ministry of the Interior

Under the law, the trade licensing office does not issue any notification of the registration of termination of a trade authorisation in the trade licensing register. Depending on the circumstances of the specific case, the trade licensing office may send the entrepreneur a notification that their trade authorisation has terminated.
