The rate is 15% where taxable income (revenue) does not exceed 100,000 EUR; above that revenue the table in s.15(1)(a) applies bands set in multiples of the living minimum (19%, 25%, 30%, 35%).

- Route
- The trader gives the trade office notice of ending the business; the trade authorisation lapses on the day named in the notice, or the day after the notice reaches the office if no later day is named, and the notice can be withdrawn up to the day before. The trade may instead be suspended by notice. The authorisation also lapses on death (unless heirs continue), by expiry of a fixed term, or by the trade office's decision to revoke it.
