How to Deregister a Tax Group in the UAE

This guide will walk you through the process of deregistering a tax group in the UAE.

Prerequisites

Before you can deregister a tax group, you must ensure that the following conditions are met:

• All outstanding tax liabilities for the tax group have been settled.
• All tax returns have been filed and submitted.
• The group has obtained the necessary approvals from any relevant government authorities.

Steps

Access the Emirates Tax portal: Go to the https://tax.gov.ae/en/taxes/Vat.aspx website and log in to your Emirates Tax account.

Navigate to the tax group: From the dashboard, select "Tax Groups" and then choose the tax group you want to deregister.

Initiate the deregistration process: Click on the "Actions" button and select "Deregister Tax Group."

Review the deregistration information: Carefully review the information displayed on the screen, ensuring that all details are accurate and complete.

Select the reason for deregistration: Choose the appropriate reason from the list provided for deregistering the tax group.

Upload supporting documents: Attach any required supporting documents to substantiate the reason for deregistration.

Review and submit the application: Review the entire application thoroughly to ensure that all information is correct and complete. Once satisfied, click on the "Submit" button to submit the deregistration request.

Monitor the application status: The status of your deregistration request will be updated on your Emirates Tax dashboard. You will receive notifications via email or SMS regarding the progress and outcome of your application.

Additional Considerations

• The deregistration process may take several weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the case and the requirements of the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
• Once the deregistration is approved, the tax group will be removed from the FTA's records, and the members will no longer be liable for any joint tax obligations.
• Each member of the deregistered tax group may need to register individually for VAT if they meet the eligibility criteria.

For further assistance or inquiries, you can contact the FTA's Customer Support Center.
