Why VAT Deregistration Is Important?

VAT deregistration allows businesses to cancel their VAT registration and deactivate their Tax Registration Number (TRN), eliminating future VAT payment obligations. This step is critical for ensuring that a business remains compliant with UAE VAT laws.

What is VAT Deregistration?

VAT deregistration refers to the process by which a taxable entity cancels its VAT registration when it no longer meets the criteria for VAT obligations. Once the application is approved by the FTA, the entity’s VAT registration is canceled, and the TRN is suspended.

What is VAT Deregistration?

1. Compulsory Deregistration:
Businesses must apply for VAT deregistration when:
◉ They cease operations or liquidate.
◉ Their taxable supplies or imports fall below the voluntary VAT registration threshold of AED 187,500 over the past 12 months.

2. Voluntary Deregistration:
Businesses may apply for VAT deregistration when:
◉ Their taxable supplies or imports have dropped below the mandatory VAT registration threshold of AED 375,000 but remain above AED 187,500.
