The Zivno Trade License does not cancel automatically. This means that when you finish a project, lose work, or move back to your home country, you should cancel or pause the license. You should also notify and cancel with social security, health insurance, and social tax if applicable. Failing to do so will incur debt, as you are expected to make payments even with zero income or when not living in the country.
