You won't get it, and without it you can't renew your business license, bid or sell the business. Better to check your status today than find out with the deadline looming.
What is the municipal compliance certificate for?
To renew your business license, bid, sell the business and complete formal procedures.

Will I get it if I owe?
No: only if you're up to date; that's why it pays to check first.
What if I have pending returns?
They have to be settled first (a separate service).
About this procedure
The municipal compliance certificate is the document the city hall uses to certify that your business owes nothing to the municipal tax authority: that you're registered, your returns are filed and your municipal business tax is paid up. It looks like a minor piece of paper until the day you need it, and that day always comes: you need it to renew your business license (patente), bid for government contracts, sell or transfer the business, handle bank matters and almost any serious formal procedure. In practice, it's your company's municipal certificate of good conduct.
The catch is that the certificate works like a mirror: you only get it if you're truly up to date, and the moment you request it is exactly when any unfiled returns or unpaid tax come to the surface. Many people find out they're behind with the city hall right when the tender or the sale that depends on that certificate is already on top of them, and that's when the rush works against you. That's why it pays to know where you stand before the urgency shows up.
We get it for you and, if needed, bring you up to date first: we review your municipal account statement, identify anything pending, guide you on how to settle it and handle your municipal compliance certificate with the city hall. The price starts at $75 and is adjusted to your municipality. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
