KWS provides a managed VAT deregistration service for businesses across Dubai and the UAE — from eligibility checks and final return preparation to EmaraTax submission and post-closure follow-up.
Tax De-Registration is the mandatory legal action that cancels a registered entity's VAT status, officially deactivating its VAT number. This process may be initiated by the registered Taxable Person or enforced by the FTA once the business no longer meets the required criteria for mandatory VAT registration.
Timely De-Registration is a crucial compliance step. Failure to process the cancellation within the stipulated timeframe—such as when a company's total supplies fall below the threshold or the business ceases taxable operations—can lead to financial penalties from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
