WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey 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. VAT 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. Latvians are a small community in logistics, IT and timber trading, so the VAT De-registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Latvian applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Latvian customers from Riga and Daugavpils, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Latvia and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why VAT De-registration
Put simply, the steps for VAT De-registration are: apply within 20 business days of becoming eligible, file a final return, settle outstanding tax and penalties and then receive the de-registration confirmation. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for VAT De-registration, uploads the supporting documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. In short, many Latvian founders run VAT De-registration companies alongside an existing business in Latvia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
