Travel trade card-exempt activity Deregistration


If you wish to cease operating your business, you are obliged to deregister your business.

The The same applies if you relocate the head office of your business or a branch office or dependent branch of your company to a new location and this results in the jurisdiction of a different municipality. First deregister your trade or business at the previous location. Then register it again at the new location.

If you change the legal form of your business, a business deregistration is also required. You must first deregister your business under the previous legal form. You then re-register your business under the new legal form.

If you relocate the headquarters of your business or a branch office or dependent branch of your company to a new location without changing the jurisdiction within the municipality, a business re-registration is sufficient.

The deregistration must be carried out by the following persons or their authorized representatives:

  • in the case of sole traders, by the trader himself,
  • by the legal representative(s) in the case of corporations (e.g. GmbH, AG).

In the case of partnerships (e.g. OHG, KG, GbR/BGB-Gesellschaft, GmbH & Co. KG), business deregistrations must be made by all partners authorized to manage the business
