Closing a non-profit association
A non-profit association must be deregistered if its operations cease.
1. Terminate the association
When a non-profit association is to be dissolved, the association's statutes determine how it will be done. Therefore, the process may differ in different associations. For example, an association may be dissolved by a vote at two different meetings, one of which is an annual meeting.
2. Deregister the company registration number with the Swedish Tax Agency
The association must be terminated before it can be deregistered with the Swedish Tax Agency. The association must also have no assets or liabilities remaining.
When the association is terminated, you deregister the association. You do this by submitting the form Avregistrering av organisationsnummer för ideell förening eller stiftelse (Deregistration of registration number for non-profit association or foundation) to the Swedish Tax Agency.
3. Deregister the association with the Swedish Companies Registration Office
If you have registered the non-profit association with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and have stopped operating it, you must notify that you wish to deregister the association. You do this by submitting the Deregistration form, no. 934.

The Swedish Companies Registration Office will send a registration certificate when the association is deregistered. Please note that the right to the company name expires when the Swedish Companies Registration Office has deregistered the association.
