Excise Deregistration Services

Any entity that has previously been registered and is no longer engaged in excise goods activities can apply for excise tax deregistration.

Who Should Apply for Excise Deregistration?

A registered person should apply for excise deregistration when they cease activities such as importing, producing, or storing excise goods in the UAE. The taxable person can submit a deregistration request through the FTA online portal.

The FTA’s approval of a deregistration application depends on the reason provided and the settlement of all:

a. Outstanding tax liability

b. Filed returns

c. Any applicable administrative penalties

Deregistration Penalty

Failure to apply for VAT deregistration within the specified timeframe may result in a penalty of AED 10,000.
