VAT Deregistration in UAE

VAT Deregistration Services in Dubai, UAE

VAT de-registration, also known as cancelling VAT registration, happens when a business wants to stop being registered for VAT with the UAE Federal Tax Authority. The FTA will only approve this if the reason is allowed by the law and the rules are followed. In the UAE, a business can cancel its VAT registration if it makes less than AED 187,000 in the first 12 months after registering or if it stops selling taxable goods or services. Mubarak Al Ketbi helps businesses with this process.
