What Is VAT Deregistration in Dubai?

VAT deregistration is the legal process of canceling your Tax Registration Number (TRN) with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) when your business is no longer operating or is being liquidated.

In Dubai, VAT deregistration is mandatory when:

  • Your business is closing permanently (voluntary liquidation)
  • You no longer meet the mandatory VAT threshold (AED 375,000)
  • You’ve changed your business model and no longer make taxable supplies
FTA guidelines require businesses to apply for deregistration within specified timelines following liquidation to avoid potential non-compliance penalties.
