Mandatory De-registration

When you stop trading or close the business, we file within the 20-business-day window to avoid the late penalty.

Voluntary De-registration

When supplies fall below the voluntary threshold, we assess timing and file when it benefits you.

Final Return

We prepare and submit your final VAT return, accounting for assets and stock on hand.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When must I de-register for VAT?+
You must apply within 20 business days of ceasing taxable supplies or once your taxable turnover stays below the AED 187,500 voluntary threshold. Missing this triggers an AED 1,000 penalty.
Can the FTA reject my de-registration?+
Yes. The FTA will not approve cancellation until all returns are filed and all tax and penalties are paid. We clear these first so approval is smooth.
Do I need a final VAT return?+
Yes. A final return is required and must account for VAT on business assets and stock retained at de-registration. We prepare it correctly.
What happens to input VAT I already claimed?+
You may need to repay input VAT on assets still held. We calculate any clawback so your final return is accurate and accepted.
