WhatsApp quoteVAT De-registration is cancelling a VAT registration when a business closes or falls below the threshold, and it applies to businesses that cease taxable supplies or drop below AED 187,500 in turnover. Getting VAT De-registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. The most common businesses Austrians open through GoldenKey are in engineering, hospitality, construction technology and trading, although VAT De-registration supports almost any activity. Austrians are a small community of engineers, hospitality managers and traders, so the VAT De-registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Austrian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why VAT De-registration
Penalties for late VAT De-registration or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, which is why GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for VAT De-registration, uploads the supporting documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. Austrian applicants benefit from the fact that VAT De-registration already has many Austrian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Austria papers and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Does VAT De-registration apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Not applicable until a company is registered; a company that never reached the threshold has nothing to de-register.

Yes. GoldenKey can prepare and submit filings on your behalf and handle FTA correspondence, so you have one point of contact for licence, visa and tax matters.
How long does VAT De-registration take with the FTA?
Day to day, the FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Can a Austrian citizen own 100% of a company in VAT De-registration?
Yes, it can. Austrians can own the full share capital of a VAT De-registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
