The process of Company Liquidation in DIAC:
The process is as follows:
| 1. | Board Resolution: The shareholders and owners of a company come together and sign a document to show agreement for the liquidation of their company. This resolution then must be notarized by the notary public & sent to The free zone authority of Dubai International Academic City. |

| 3. | VAT De-registration: Before beginning the company liquidation procedure in Dubai, the in question form, if it is a VAT registrant, must register for VAT registration right away. A corporation might be eligible for VAT de-registration if it is in liquidation. When such firms become eligible, they have twenty days to seek for de-registration. Penalties up to AED 10,000 will be incurred for applications that are not submitted within the allotted period. Furthermore, if VAT de-registration is not completed, the liquidation procedure would be postponed. |
| 4. | Obtain No Objection Certificates. Official government agencies and utility companies, such Etisalat, DEWA, and Dubai Customs, must submit clearance letters. In case a car is registered under the company’s name, the RTA must provide the NOC. If the business has a PO Box, clearance from Emirates Post needs to be obtained. |
