How long does the deregistation process take?
Corporate tax deregistration usually takes a few weeks from the time a complete application and final return are submitted, though the FTA’s review can range roughly 10–30 business days depending on complexity. You must still apply within 3 months of ceasing business to avoid monthly late-deregistration penalties.
What are the reasons for Corporate Tax Deregistration
Corporate Tax Deregistration is needed when your business stops being a taxable person in the UAE, usually because the entity is ending or changing.
Reasons for Corporate Tax Deregistration:
Business closure or liquidation: The company permanently stops operations, dissolves, or goes into liquidation.
Merger or restructuring: The business merges, is acquired, or changes legal form and the old entity no longer exists.
Sale or transfer of business: Ownership is transferred and the previous entity needs to be removed from the FTA corporate tax register.
Re-domiciliation: The business relocates its legal home and is no longer registered in the UAE in the same way.
When To File An Application For Corporate Tax Deregistration?
File a Corporate Tax Deregistration application as soon as your business stops trading or the entity ends, and no later than 3 months from the cessation date. This 3-month rule applies to both natural persons and companies (for events like dissolution, liquidation, or similar).
Why is Corporate Tax Deregistration Important?
Corporate Tax Deregistration is important because it is your official exit from the UAE tax system, so you stop future corporate tax filing obligations once approved. It also helps you avoid late deregistration penalties, which start at AED 1,000 and can increase monthly up to AED 10,000 if you miss the deadline
