Frequently asked questions
Can several changes be filed in one application?
+−
Yes. A change of manager, address, and business activity can be filed together — with a single state fee.
Do I need to notify the tax authority separately?
+−
Changes in the Commercial Register are automatically reflected with the tax authority (NRA). A separate notification is only needed for the correspondence address, if it differs from the registered office.
