Overview
VAT deregistration in the UAE explained
VAT deregistration in the UAE cancels your Tax Registration Number (TRN) with the Federal Tax Authority when taxable supplies cease, turnover falls below the voluntary threshold, or the business is liquidated — requiring a final VAT return and potential output tax on remaining stock.
FTA mandates deregistration within 20 business days of ceasing taxable supplies. Failure to deregister while no longer making taxable supplies creates ongoing filing obligations and penalty exposure.
KPM Global Services manages the complete VAT deregistration workflow — eligibility assessment, final return preparation, stock adjustment calculations, FTA application, and TRN cancellation confirmation.
