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. Getting VAT De-registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. As we tell every client, malaysians are a community in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas and education, so the VAT De-registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Malaysian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Malaysia and the UAE cooperate closely in Islamic finance and halal trade, with Dubai as the regional hub, which gives Malaysian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their VAT De-registration licence is issued.
Why VAT De-registration
GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax submission for VAT De-registration, uploads the paperwork and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is released. 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 customers. GoldenKey has prepared VAT De-registration files for Malaysian customers in Islamic finance, halal food, oil and gas services and education, which means we know which Malaysia documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
