Corporate Tax deregistration is the formal process of cancelling a business’s Corporate Tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority when the business meets the applicable conditions.

The FTA identifies circumstances such as cessation of business, sale of business, merger, re-domiciliation and other qualifying circumstances as potential reasons for Corporate Tax deregistration.

Why Proper Deregistration Matters

A company may have cancelled its trade licence or stopped trading, but its Corporate Tax obligations should still be reviewed separately.

The business may need to complete outstanding tax filings and settle any Corporate Tax liabilities before the deregistration process is completed.

The FTA currently provides Corporate Tax deregistration through the EmaraTax platform and states that the service is available to persons registered for Corporate Tax.

Supporting Documentation

Depending on the reason for deregistration, businesses may need documents supporting the cessation, sale, merger or re-domiciliation of the business. The FTA specifically identifies documentary evidence for these circumstances among the potential requirements.

Professional Assistance from KBA

Deregistration should be treated as part of the company’s overall closure or restructuring process. Our team can review the company’s tax position, identify outstanding obligations and help coordinate the deregistration application.

This helps ensure that your business does not leave unresolved Corporate Tax compliance matters after operations have ended.
