WhatsApp quoteImportantly, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes VAT De-registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting documents must match your licence exactly. GoldenKey handles VAT De-registration for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. Importantly, external approvals for accounting & bookkeeping are: FTA tax agent registration for representing clients; MoE for audit. GoldenKey has licensed accounting firm businesses for clients in VAT De-registration and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
