Registering the termination of continuation after the entrepreneur’s death in the trade licensing register

On the basis of the continuing person’s notification of termination of the continuation of the deceased entrepreneur’s trade, the trade licensing office will register in the trade licensing register the information that the continuation of the trade by the given continuing person has been terminated as of the date of receipt of their notification by the trade licensing register. Unless the same trade is continued by another continuing person, the deceased entrepreneur’s trade authorisation terminates as of the same day.

If the time limit of 3 months specified by law for notifying the continuation of a deceased entrepreneur’s trade by other authorised persons has not expired, the trade licensing office will await the expiry of the above time limit and then it will register the information that the trade authorisation has terminated in the trade licensing register. Within 30 days from the date of registration in the trade licensing register, it will notify 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
