VAT -De-registration

Understanding VAT -De-registration in UAE

If your business no longer meets the criteria for VAT registration or you’ve ceased operations, VAT de-registration is essential to remain compliant with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA).  Whether you are closing your business or simply no longer exceed the mandatory registration threshold, we ensure a hassle-free de-registration experience.

What Are the Benefits of VAT De-registration?

De-registering from VAT offers several advantages for businesses that no longer meet the VAT registration requirements

Avoid VAT Filing

If your taxable turnover falls below the required threshold, you can stop filing VAT returns, saving time and resources.

Reduce Administrative Burden

With VAT de-registration, you no longer need to maintain complex VAT records or file regular returns, streamlining your operations.

Compliance Assurance

Proper de-registration ensures your business complies with UAE tax laws, preventing any future tax issues or penalties.

When is VAT De-registration Required in the UAE?

Understanding when VAT de-registration is required is crucial for any business operating in the UAE. According to the UAE VAT law, businesses must apply for VAT de-registration under the following circumstances:

  1. Your taxable turnover falls below the mandatory registration threshold (AED 375,000).
  2. You cease business operations entirely.
  3. You merge with or are acquired by another entity.
  4. Your taxable supplies are below the voluntary registration threshold (AED 187,500), and you choose to cancel your VAT registration.
  5. Your business is no longer involved in any VAT-eligible transactions.

Common Questions About VAT De-registration

Yes, if you are permanently closing your business or stopping VAT taxable activities, you must de-register from VAT. This is required to ensure that your business is no longer liable for VAT obligations.

You must submit the final VAT return after de-registration to ensure that any outstanding VAT is paid. This is typically the last VAT return for the period in which you applied for de-registration.

If your business is eligible for VAT refunds (e.g., for excess VAT paid on purchases), you can apply for a refund before de-registration. However, after de-registration, you must ensure all VAT obligations are settled.

Once your VAT registration is cancelled, you will no longer be required to collect VAT on sales or pay VAT on purchases. However, you must still comply with other tax obligations, such as filing final VAT returns and paying any outstanding VAT due.
