Separate tax registration from the registry
An individual business can be opened at the tax office, but an activity qualifying as a commercial enterprise may also require commercial registry and chamber registration. Tradesperson activities have a different registry and chamber structure.
An activity code alone may not settle the issue. Assess turnover, organization and continuity with the relevant registry office.
Keep changes on record
Changes of address, activity, name and authority may require separate tax-office and registry notifications. Updating one record may not automatically correct the other.
Include registration, publication, chamber fees, e-signature and accounting costs in the formation budget. Correct records also simplify banking and customer contracts.
