VAT De-registration for Travel & Tourism Agency Businesses

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 granted. Day to day, missing the 20-day window triggers a penalty, so de-registration should be planned alongside licence cancellation. For most clients, for travel & tourism agency, VAT De-registration offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
