VAT Deregistration Service in the UAE
The Federal Decree Law Number 8 of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) requires a registrant to apply for Tax De-registration if the following conditions are met:

- If he stops making Taxable Supplies
- If the value of the Taxable Supplies
which are made over a period of (12) consecutive months is less than the Voluntary VAT Registration Threshold and said Registrant does not anticipate that they’ll cross the Voluntary registration threshold during the coming 30-days.
The Registrant must apply to the Authority for VAT de-registration in accordance with the cases mentioned above, within (20) busir days of the occurrence of any of them.
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) shall accept a VAT Registrant’s application for Tax De registration where the above two conditions are met.
VAT De-Registration for VAT in the UAE is an online process which is accessible in the Federal Tax Authority’s online portal. Before proceeding for VAT De- registration, the applicant should consider various aspects such as turnover requirements or discontinuation of business etc.
You will be notified of the pre approval after the FTA confirms receipt of your VAT de registration application form. In your dashboard, the status of your de registration will be updated to ‘Pre-Approved.’
In the “VAT returns” area of the system, you will also be required to file a final tax return. You will be notified via email and SMS about the progress of your application and asked to complete the payment of any outstanding charges.
The consequences for failing to deregister a firm that falls into one of the above categories are detailed in the UAE VAT Law. Companies who do not deregister after falling into one of the aforementioned categories will be fined AED 10,000 under UAE VAT law.
To avoid any non-compliance penalties, every VAT registrant in the UAE must determine if they will fall into the categories mentioned in UAE VAT Law.
