You will need to formally retire or close your business to avoid any tax liability in the future.

Because of what's happened with COVID 19 and with a lot of businesses forced to shut down due to lack of customers and not enough sales. Business owners must formally file an application to retire or close a business at their local city government. Stopping operation does not automatically terminate a business registration. As far as the Business Permit and Licensing Office of your local city government is concerned your business is still in operation and your business license/permit valid. A license is required to be renewed annually, that's the reason why business owners must officially retire a business in order to avoid any tax liabilities or penalties in the future.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
