Introduction
The right choice of registered address and KAD (Activity Code) can affect your taxation, eligibility for programs, and operating costs. But when does it make sense to change your address or KAD? And how is it done correctly?
🏛 Change of Registered Address: What to Watch Out For
Tax incentives: Some municipalities offer reduced local taxes or subsidize businesses.
Accessibility & functionality: Is the new headquarters closer to clients or partners?
Impact on subsidies: Certain NSRF (ESPA) programs require a physical presence in specific Regions.
🔁 Change of Business Activity Code (KAD): When it is needed
You are starting a new business activity. (e.g., from commercial to consulting)
Participation in an NSRF (ESPA) program that requires a specific business activity code (KAD).
You are operating in a sector that is not legally covered by your current business activity code.
You wish to reduce tax burdens. (in special cases)
⚙️ How does the process work?
Contact with an accountant / tax consultant
Submission of an application to the competent Tax Office (DOY)
Update / Notification GEMI / ERGANI (GEMI: General Commercial Registry / ERGANI: Labor Information System)
Notification of partners, banks, e-shops, etc.
