The AIS «interaction» in both the registration and liquidation of business units ensures the implementation of the «One Window» principle. The Register of Legal Persons (the «Register») is now in force and available on the website of the Ministry of The Ministry of The Public Administration www.estado.pr.gov/es/registro-de-personas-juridicas/ The registration of legal persons is separate and different from the registration required to form companies, limited liability companies and other companies under the laws of Puerto Rico. Thus, upon registration, a business unit is automatically placed on all types of accounting, information about the opening of a current (settlement) bank account is sent to the bank, during liquidation, certificates from government agencies (organizations) on the absence (presence) of an outstanding debt are provided by the business entity. In the recent history of Belarusian legislation, the field of establishment and liquidation of a company can be confidently described as one of the most advanced areas of state regulation. Registration, taxes, customs authorities, bodies of the Social Protection Fund of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, state statistics, the Belarusian Republican Unified Insurance Company «Belgosstrakh», archives, banks participate in this interaction.
