Documented explanations regarding errors or delays in fulfilling obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThe deadline must be calculated from the day following the publication of the notice and in accordance with the rules applicable to business days. The exact date of publication and the formal instructions in the notice are the information to be used to determine the last day for filing.<\/p>\n\n
When do the ten days start counting?<\/h3>\n\n
The deadline begins the day after the publication of the notice in the BOPA, according to the information provided. The exact publication date and the formal instructions in the notice must be used to calculate the last day for submission.<\/p>\n\n
What happens if the company does not submit any objections?<\/h3>\n\n
The company will not provide explanations or documents during this phase. The proceedings may continue toward a final resolution if the indications of inactivity are not refuted by other means.<\/p>\n\n
What consequences can administrative dissolution without liquidation have?<\/h2>\n\n
If the company fails to demonstrate effective activity or justify its situation, the procedure may result in its administrative dissolution. The information provided does not specify the concrete effects of this decision on the assets, contracts, debts, or other obligations of each company.<\/p>\n\n
For this reason, those responsible for a company included in the procedure must review its registration, accounting and tax situation and submit, within the deadline, the documentation that allows them to prove their activity or explain the detected non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n
Can administrators be disqualified for a year?<\/h2>\n\n
The temporary ban does not automatically apply to all directors of the 2,777 companies. It can only affect those deemed responsible for the breaches that led to the dissolution.<\/p>\n\n
In such cases, the expected consequence is a one-year ban on holding any administrative or management position in any company registered in Andorra. During the proceedings, each director may submit evidence and justifications to demonstrate that they were not responsible for the outstanding obligations.<\/p>\n\n
Does disqualification apply simply because one is an administrator?<\/h3>\n\n
No. According to the available information, individual responsibility must be determined in the final resolution. Being an administrator of a company included in the proceedings is not, in itself, sufficient to impose the prohibition.<\/p>\n\n
What should affected administrators and owners do now?<\/h2>\n\n
The first step is to locate the company in the notice and confirm its name, registration number, and other identifying information. Then, you must review the annual accounts, tax returns, and declaration of beneficial owners.<\/p>\n\n
The response must include evidence of actual activity and documentation explaining any delays or administrative errors. Allegations must be submitted through the channel and with the formal requirements specified by the Administration within ten business days.<\/p>\n\n
If the company is still operating, it must provide documentation to prove this. If it is no longer operating, its representatives can explain this situation and the circumstances related to the detected non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n
When there are doubts about the documentation or the procedure, administrators can request legal, tax or accounting advice before submitting the allegations.<\/p>\n\n
What does this measure mean for those who want to start a business in Andorra?<\/h2>\n\n
This action demonstrates that registering a company does not end its obligations. Companies must comply with all applicable obligations related to accounting, taxes, registration information, and declaration of beneficial owners.<\/p>\n\n
For someone who wants to set up a company, this means that they will have to plan for the periodic fulfillment of these obligations and keep the corresponding documentation.<\/p>\n\n
Can a company with no activity legally remain open?<\/h3>\n\n
Lack of activity does not necessarily prevent a company from being registered, but it does not exempt it from fulfilling its applicable obligations. The reported procedure is specifically directed against companies that have accumulated non-compliance for at least two consecutive fiscal years.<\/p>\n\n
Conclusion: Review the situation before the deadline.<\/h2>\n\n
The procedure initially affects 2,777 companies out of a registry of 18,415 businesses. Directors have ten business days to submit arguments from the day after the publication of the notice, and those found responsible could be disqualified from holding office for one year.<\/p>\n\n
It remains to be determined which companies are still actively operating and which have ceased operations. Those responsible for the affected companies must review the notice and submit the corresponding documentation or justifications within the established deadline.<\/p>\n\n
