NB! If your company has received any fines from the Business Register, e.g. for not submitting an annual report, then it cannot be considered as an inactive (dormant) company any longer, as the relevant fine(s) must be included in the declarations submitted to the Tax Board. In this case, you should not choose the dormant company liquidation option.
