VAT deregistration becomes necessary when an entity fails to achieve sales up to the threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). The thresholds recommended for mandatory and voluntary registration by the FTA are AED 375,000 and AED 187,500, respectively. According to UAE VAT law, the application for deregistration must be submitted within 20 days of the decline in supplies below the voluntary threshold over the previous 12 months, or when the entity ceases to make taxable supplies.
