10. Can you be deleted from the Nutrition Base for other reasons?

10.1 Conditions no longer met

The right to registration in the Nutrition Base may lapse - i.e. cease automatically - if the person registered no longer meets the conditions for being in the Nutrition Base.

10.2 Outstanding payment

The right to be in the Nutrition Base will lapse if the annual payment is not made. Read more in chapter 2. You cannot continue operating your business until you pay the outstanding amount and register in the Nutrition Base.

NB!
It is illegal to operate a food business without being registered in the Nutrition Base!

10.3 Cessation of business

If you deregister for VAT (moms), your registration in the Nutrition Base will lapse and thus your nutrition letter. However, if you change sector, this does not affect the Nutrition Base - in this case you must change the sector code in the CVR register yourself and ensure you are deleted from the Nutrition Base.

If you are a partner (interessent/komplementar) in a partnership (I/S or K/S) and if you are deleted from the partnership's VAT (moms) registration, your registration in the Nutrition Base will lapse.

10.4 If you move to a new place of business

Registration in the Nutrition Base applies for a specific place of business for as long as the person registered in the Nutrition Base operates a business from this place of business. If you move to a new place of business, the new address must be registered in the Nutrition Base.

NB:
If you change the name of the place of business - perhaps merely a change of house number, your business will automatically be deleted from the Nutrition Base and therefore you must ensure that the change of address is registered in the Nutrition Base.

Do you serve alcohol?
In order to obtain a liquor license you must have a nutrition letter for the specific place of business. Therefore you must apply for a new liquor license when you relocate.

10.5 You no longer wish to operate a food business

If you stop operating an outlet selling food, you can delete the business from the Nutrition Base yourself at www.virk.dk/naeringsbasen using your Digital Signature/NemID, or you can ask the Commerce and Companies Agency to delete it.

10.6 Do you want to start a food business again later?

Then you must register in the Nutrition Base in the same way as for a new business.

OBS:
If you have passed the nutrition test once, you do not have to take it again.

If you have been subject to the special rules on operation for 1 July 2005 or 1 May 2007, and thus were exempted from test requirements, these will generally continue to apply.
