Notify NBR within 30 days with representative and entity details, appointment evidence and duration; NBR may seek more information and notify approval. Notify completion within 30 days as well. Track deadlines, returns, payments and records received: liquidation does not automatically suspend tax obligations.

Who should read this?

Practical action

Common mistake to avoid

Assuming court appointment replaces NBR notification or omitting the end-of-appointment notice.

Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is this Article enough on its own?

Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.

Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?

No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
