                  If I decide to terminate the business is there any special procedure?
                  Termination of a business starts by notifying the Ministry of Finance through submitting special declarations (تصريح توقف عن العمل) within two months after the termination decision of the business, together with Minutes/ Resolution approving such termination. There are also penalties for the failure to submit the required declaration:
