VAT Deregistration Services in UAE, KSA, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman

At Omnex, we offer reliable and compliant VAT deregistration services to help businesses cancel their VAT registration when they are no longer eligible or required to be registered. Whether your business is winding down operations or no longer meets the mandatory registration thresholds, we guide you through a seamless deregistration process in accordance with the tax laws of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the UK.

VAT deregistration—also referred to as VAT cancellation or termination—is carried out via the respective tax authority’s online portal. Our expert consultants ensure that your VAT deregistration is timely, accurate, and fully compliant.

Types of VAT Deregistration

Businesses may apply for VAT deregistration under two categories:

1. Mandatory VAT Deregistration

You are legally required to deregister for VAT within 30 days if:

• Your business has ceased its economic activities
• You are no longer making taxable supplies

• Your company has been officially closed or dissolved

2. Voluntary VAT Deregistration

You may voluntarily apply for deregistration if:

• The value of your taxable supplies in the past 12 months has fallen below the mandatory threshold but is above the voluntary threshold

• Your estimated taxable supplies in the upcoming 12 months are expected to remain within the voluntary threshold

VAT Deregistration Procedure

Omnex ensures that every step of your VAT deregistration is handled with diligence and precision. The process includes:

1. Preparing Required Documents
   • VAT Deregistration Application Form
   • Emirates ID and passport copy of the authorized signatory
   • Official letter requesting deregistration and explaining the reason
   • Supporting evidence (e.g., business closure certificate)
   • Final tax invoices, credit notes, and financial statements

   • Customs cancellation certificate (if applicable)

2. Settling Outstanding VAT Liabilities
   Any pending VAT payments and obligations must be cleared before submitting the deregistration request.

3. Submitting the Application
   Submit your deregistration request and supporting documents through the relevant tax portal (e.g., EmaraTax in the UAE).

4. FTA Review and Approval
   The Tax Authority will evaluate your application and issue a deregistration certificate upon approval.

5. Updating Business Records
   Once deregistered, businesses should update their systems, accounting software, and invoices to reflect the change in VAT status.

When to Apply for VAT Deregistration?

Businesses must apply within 20 business days from the date they meet the deregistration conditions. Delays may result in administrative penalties. If your business is closing, a government-issued liquidation certificate is also required.

Before final deregistration is confirmed, businesses must submit their final VAT return, settle all liabilities, and obtain pre-approval from the authority.

Details Required for VAT Deregistration

To cancel VAT registration, your application should include:

• Registered business name and VAT number
• Reason for deregistration and supporting documentation
• Date of eligibility for deregistration
• Value of taxable supplies and expenses over the past and next 12 months

• Any other information requested by the tax authority

Why VAT Deregistration Matters

Just as registering for VAT is a legal obligation, timely deregistration is equally important to avoid non-compliance penalties. Businesses across the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the UK must adhere to local tax rules when their eligibility for VAT registration changes.
