Understanding VAT Deregistration in Dubai
What is Meant by VAT Deregistration?
VAT deregistration means officially cancelling your business’s VAT registration with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) when it is no longer required to be registered for VAT.
Once deregistered, your business will:
- Stop charging VAT on sales and services.
- Stop filing VAT returns with the FTA.
- Settle any outstanding VAT liabilities before the TRN is cancelled.
When do I Need to Deregister for VAT?
If you fulfill any of the below conditions, you must deregister for VAT:
Annual Turnover Below AED 187,500: If 12 months have passed since the date of tax registration and the annual turnover on taxable goods remains below AED 187,500.
Stopped Sales of Taxable Supplies: If your business ceases operations entirely and no longer engages in VAT-related supplies, deregistration is mandatory.
Future Taxable Supplies Below Threshold: If the total value of anticipated taxable supplies or expenses subject to tax in the next 30 days will not exceed the registration threshold.
Business Closure: If the company has completely closed.
Types of VAT Deregistration in Dubai
Mandatory VAT Deregistration in the UAE
Mandatory VAT deregistration applies when your business no longer meets the requirements to stay registered for VAT.
You must apply for deregistration if:
- Your business stops making taxable supplies, or
- Your taxable turnover falls below AED 187,500 in the last 12 months, or
- Your business has closed down or stopped operating, or
- Your trade license has been cancelled
Voluntary VAT Deregistration in the UAE
Voluntary deregistration applies when you still operate your business, but your turnover is now below the voluntary threshold.
You can choose to deregister if:
Your taxable turnover in the past 12 months is below AED 187,500, and
You do not expect to cross this amount in the next 30 days
This option is helpful for small or slow-moving businesses that no longer benefit from remaining VAT-registered.
VAT Deregistration Certificate in Dubai
A VAT Deregistration Certificate is an official document issued by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) confirming that your business is no longer registered for VAT.
It proves that your TRN (Tax Registration Number) has been cancelled and you no longer need to charge VAT, file VAT returns, or pay VAT to the FTA.
VAT Deregistration Process in Dubai
- Access the FTA EmaraTax portal: You’ll need your login credentials.
- Locate the Deregistration section: The exact steps might vary slightly depending on the portal interface.
- Initiate the deregistration application: Follow the on-screen instructions, providing the required information and supporting documents.
- Submit the application: Review everything thoroughly before final submission.
FTA review and processing: The FTA will assess your application. If approved, your VAT registration will be canceled.
VAT Deregistration for Tax Groups
VAT Groups must deregister when they no longer qualify to remain registered as a group.
A VAT Group must deregister if:
- The group no longer meets the control or ownership requirements
- The members no longer share economic, financial, or organizational links
- One or more members no longer qualify for VAT
- The group decides to disband and operate individually
- The representative member is no longer eligible
The deregistration can apply to the entire group or to specific members being removed.
