Service Inclusions
Initial VAT Status Assessment
Capital Plus Auditing starts with a full evaluation of your eligibility for VAT Deregistration. We assess whether your business qualifies due to closure, restructuring, or revenue threshold changes, ensuring the process begins only when conditions fully align with FTA regulations.
Review of VAT Returns and Records
We thoroughly review your previous VAT returns and financial records to ensure accuracy and identify any issues. This step helps eliminate compliance risks, resolve outstanding obligations, and prepare your business for a smooth and error-free deregistration process with the FTA.
Preparation of Final VAT Return
Our experts prepare and file your final VAT return with precision. We ensure all taxable transactions are properly recorded, liabilities are settled, and input/output VAT is reconciled — securing full financial clarity before submitting the deregistration request to the authorities.
Submission of Deregistration Application
Once everything is verified, Capital Plus Auditing prepares and submits your official VAT Deregistration application. We gather all necessary documents, including identification, business licenses, and VAT filings, and ensure the submission meets every requirement set by the Federal Tax Authority.
Liaison with Federal Tax Authority (FTA)
We manage all communication with the FTA on your behalf. From follow-ups to handling clarifications, our team ensures the process stays on track, addresses issues promptly, and moves toward successful deregistration without unnecessary delays or compliance complications.
Clearance of Outstanding VAT Liabilities
If there are pending VAT amounts or fines, we assist you in clearing them efficiently. Capital Plus ensures that all financial dues are settled correctly, allowing your business to exit the VAT system cleanly, confidently, and without any legal exposure.
Issuance of VAT Deregistration Certificate
After approval, we secure your official VAT Deregistration Certificate from the FTA. We also provide all supporting documentation and ensure your business has everything it needs to demonstrate compliance and maintain accurate tax records post-deregistration as per UAE law.
Post-Deregistration Advisory
Our service includes post-deregistration support to ensure full compliance. We guide you on maintaining tax records, fulfilling any final obligations, and understanding when future VAT registration may be required — keeping your business informed, prepared, and legally protected at every step.
Are You Eligible for VAT Deregistration in the UAE?
Voluntary Deregistration
You may apply voluntarily if your taxable supplies and imports have fallen below AED 375,000, or if your business has ceased taxable activities or made no taxable supplies in the past 12 months.
Mandatory Deregistration
You must apply for deregistration if your taxable supplies and imports fall below AED 187,500, or if your business has been dissolved, liquidated, or ceased operations entirely.
VAT Group Deregistration
Deregistration is required if the VAT group no longer makes taxable supplies, if group revenue falls below the threshold, or if the group is restructured, dissolved, or no longer eligible under FTA rules.
Additional Requirements
The Federal Tax Authority may request proof of ceased activity, confirmation that no VAT liabilities remain, and documentation of asset disposal or business closure.
When VAT Deregistration Applications May Be Rejected
Incomplete or Inaccurate Documentation
Applications lacking required documents or containing incorrect data about taxable activities may be rejected by the FTA.
Outstanding VAT Liabilities
If the VAT group has unpaid VAT dues or has failed to meet filing obligations, the FTA may disapprove the application.
Ineligibility for Deregistration
If the group continues to exceed the deregistration threshold or remains engaged in taxable supplies, it does not qualify for deregistration and the application will be denied.
Post VAT Deregistration Process in UAE
Confirmation of Deregistration
After applying, the FTA will review your application and confirm deregistration. You’ll receive a confirmation notice.
Final VAT Return
A final VAT return must be submitted to declare any remaining VAT liabilities. Ensure all transactions are reported accurately.
Settling Outstanding VAT Liabilities
If any VAT is due, it must be paid before deregistration is complete. The FTA will review this as part of the process.
Cancellation of VAT Certificate
Once deregistration is approved, your VAT certificate is officially canceled. You will no longer be required to file VAT returns.
Maintain Records
Keep all records related to VAT for the mandatory retention period (5 years). This is important for future audits or queries.
Impact on Business Operations
Post-deregistration, your business cannot charge VAT on sales or reclaim VAT on purchases. Ensure all clients are informed accordingly.
