Understanding Corporate Tax Deregistration in Dubai
Corporate tax deregistration is the formal process of cancelling a business’s corporate tax registration with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
It applies when a business no longer qualifies as a taxable person under UAE Corporate Tax law — for example, when the business has ceased operations, been liquidated, or undergone certain structural changes.
Once deregistered, the business is no longer required to file corporate tax returns going forward, subject to meeting all deregistration conditions.
A business may be required to apply for Corporate Tax deregistration if it:
- Has ceased business activities
- Has been liquidated or dissolved
- No longer meets the criteria of a taxable person
- Has undergone restructuring that removes its tax registration obligation
Deregistration must be completed within the timelines prescribed by the FTA to avoid administrative penalties.
Before applying for Corporate Tax deregistration:
- All required Corporate Tax returns must be filed, if applicable
- Accounting records should be up to date
- Any outstanding FTA requirements must be addressed
The FTA reviews the application before approving deregistration and cancelling the Corporate Tax Registration Number (TRN).
Incorrect or delayed Corporate Tax deregistration may result in:
- Continued filing obligations
- Administrative penalties
- Compliance issues with the FTA
Professional review helps ensure the process is completed correctly and conclusively.
Step 1: Confirm Eligibility for Deregistration
Assess whether the business qualifies for corporate tax deregistration due to cessation of activities, liquidation, or restructuring.
Step 2: Complete Outstanding Compliance
Ensure all required corporate tax returns are filed, records are updated, and there are no pending FTA obligations.
Step 3: Submit Deregistration Application
Prepare and submit the corporate tax deregistration request through the FTA portal with supporting details.
Step 4: FTA Review and Approval
The FTA reviews the application and, upon approval, cancels the Corporate Tax registration and TRN.
The exact documents may vary based on the business structure and reason for deregistration. Typically, the following are required:
- Trade license copy
- Corporate Tax Registration Number (TRN)
- Emirates ID and passport of authorised signatory
- Proof of business cessation or liquidation (if applicable)
- Final financial statements (if applicable)
- Details of last accounting period
- Any pending Corporate Tax filings or confirmations
Additional documents may be requested by the FTA during the review process.
