Also, registration of the single tax payer can be canceled by exclusion from Register of single tax payers by decision of the controlling body.

Herewith, exclusion of the single tax payer from Register of single tax payers occurs in case that such business entity carries out prohibited types of economic activity.

Therefore, the business entity has a right to register activities (according to Classification of economic activity types of the State classifier 009:2010), which contain at the same time a partial ban on certain type of activity, while such payers must comply with requirements specified in Sub-paragraph 291.5.1 Paragraph 291.5 Article 291 of the Code.
