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. Importantly, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes VAT De-registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting supporting documents must match your licence exactly. Importantly, the most common businesses Romanians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, although VAT De-registration supports almost any activity. Romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the VAT De-registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian 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, and for that reason GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax submission for VAT De-registration, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. To be clear, many Romanian founders run VAT De-registration companies alongside an existing business in Romania, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
