Now, you are ready to deregister/close your business at virk.dk
Deregister your business at virk.dk
Once you have closed your business, you can get your deregistration certificate at E-tax for business. This certificate can be used as documentation to your bank or unemployment fund, for example, if necessary.
This is what you do:
- Log on to E-tax for businesses
- Select 'Profil' (Profile) at the bottom of the left-hand menu
- Select 'Registreringsbevis' (Registration certificate)
- Click 'Hent registreringsbevis/ophørsbevis' (Registration certificate/Deregistration certificate)
Even though you deregister your business, you still have to keep accounts and other relevant documents on file for a minimum of five years. This means you have to keep information such as your accounts, bookkeeping information and vouchers.
If you have purchased property or renovated the buildings you used in connection with your business, you have to keep the accounting records on file for 10 years after the date of purchase of the property or renovation of the buildings.
