A ceiling breach is not an accident to erase from a spreadsheet. Law 114-13 lists turnover above the ceiling for two consecutive years as a deregistration case. Year one is therefore a documented signal; the consecutive second year triggers a transition that should already be prepared. Confirm exact fiscal treatment under current Tax Administration rules.
Actions for the next ten days
- Recalculate collected turnover, not profit.
- Separate categories and client totals.
- Retain every payment proof.
- Request written tax treatment of the breach.
- Forecast collections under existing commitments.
- Stop promises the framework cannot support.
- Compare successor regimes and structures.
- Prepare clients, banking, contracts and systems for change.
1. Prove there is a breach
Rebuild the calculation from bank, till and platforms.
| Test | Question |
|---|---|
| Basis | payment received or invoice only? |
| Year | genuine collection date? |
| Category | trade/craft or service? |
| Duplicate | same payment imported twice? |
| Transfer | personal contribution mistaken for sale? |
| Correction | genuine documented refund? |
Do not opportunistically call a service a product. Ask the Tax Administration about uncertain mixed activity.
2. Distinguish year one from repetition
Statutory deregistration refers to two consecutive years over the ceiling. The 2026 guide explains treatment and successor regimes; use its current version and live file when acting.
| Situation | Priority |
|---|---|
| Forecast before breach | choose and prepare before new contracts |
| First year established | confirm tax and start transition |
| Consecutive year two likely | schedule creation, cutover and deregistration |
| Year two confirmed | apply successor regime and official process |
A below-ceiling year between breaches changes consecutiveness, not duties for each individual year.
3. Choose the next framework from facts
Do not pick a SARL AU merely because its name sounds bigger.
- Activity: trade, service, authorisation and risk
- Volume: revenue, margin and seasonality
- Client: concentration and contract expectations
- Team: employee or partner need
- Investment: inventory, debt and assets
- Administration: accounting, VAT, IS/IR and compliance cost
Compare individual-business regimes and company options with a tax or accounting professional using actual numbers.
Never manufacture delay or hide collection
A false date, omitted cash or artificial invoice split creates risk. Growth needs a suitable framework, not a manipulated counter.
4. Build the cutover calendar
List open quotations, contracts, advances, receivables, warranties, stock, assets, banking and licences. Decide for each whether it remains personal or must lawfully transfer to the new operator.
Tell clients before changing invoice issuer. Never backdate the identity of a company not yet formed, and do not mix two number sequences or accounts.
BelloPOS can create internal alerts from recorded collections and export inventory/catalogue at cutover. It chooses no regime and transfers no contract legally.
Mistakes to avoid
- Deducting costs from the ceiling.
- Waiting two years for advice.
- Confusing client rule and annual ceiling.
- Invoicing under a company before formation.
- Moving data without contracts.
- Hiding cash.
Frequently asked questions
Does one breach deregister me?
The law refers to two consecutive years over the ceiling. Year one still needs tax analysis and preparation.
Can payment be pushed into January?
Do not create an artificial date. Contract terms and genuine collection must remain truthful.
Which regime comes next?
It depends on activity and situation. The 2026 guide describes tax options; validate the choice.
Must contracts be cancelled?
Not automatically. Analyse each holder, payment and transfer or new-contract condition.
Does BelloPOS find all collections?
Only those recorded in it. Add every other channel and have the total classified.
What to take away
Use year one to prove and decide; the consecutive second year must never be when transition planning begins.
