When a representation is cancelled, an email is sent to the principal and the representative thereof, informing them of this fact, if they have provided their email address and given permission to send them notices.

In this case, the representation ceases to be valid and, therefore, the representative will not be able to carry out administrative acts on behalf of the principal.

A representation is always canceled by the administration, for two reasons:

  • An error has been detected in the representation and it must be invalidated to prevent it from being used. This would be the case, e.g. if there is an error in the name or NIF of the principal, if the documentation on which the representation is based is of a procedural type and the registered representation is of a general type, etc.
  • 40 days have passed since the request for representation and the representative has not accepted it . In this case, the representation is canceled so that it does not remain in this state indefinitely.

Once the representation has been cancelled, it cannot be reactivated in any way, so it is necessary to register the representation again, taking care not to make any mistakes in its details or ensuring that it is subsequently accepted by the representative, depending on the reason for the cancellation.
