How does canceling a CNPJ work? Do I need to pay the debts first?

TF Assessor · July 07, 2026

Canceling is the official closing of the company. It removes the CNPJ from the registries and ends future obligations. Today it's possible to cancel even with open debts. But be careful: the debts don't disappear. They can pass to the partners' names. That's why it's important to settle them beforehand or plan how to pay. TF Assessor handles the cancellation correctly and advises you about the debts. This way you close the company with peace of mind, with no surprises later. Talk to our team to get started.
