Obligations before dossier submission
Pursuant to Clause 2, Article 92 of Decree No. 168/2025/ND-CP, a business household is responsible for fully paying all debts, including tax debts and unfulfilled financial obligations, before submitting the termination dossier — except where the business household and its creditors have agreed otherwise. The commune-level business registration authority examines the validity of the dossier and issues a notice of termination of the business household’s operations.
Frequently asked questions
What if the original Business Household Registration Certificate is lost?
The business household should contact the commune-level business registration authority where it registered for guidance on the confirmation procedure; where the original is no longer available, the registration authority will examine the dossier on the basis of the existing registration data. This step should not be skipped on your own, as the termination dossier may be returned.
Can operations be terminated if tax debts remain?
No, unless otherwise agreed with creditors. The business household must fulfill its tax obligations (terminating the validity of its tax code) before submitting the dossier for termination of operations.
How long does it take to resolve a business household termination?
The law does not prescribe a specific time limit for issuing the termination notice; in practice, the timeline depends on the completeness of the dossier and the fulfillment of tax obligations. A complete dossier should be prepared from the outset to avoid delays.
