Stay Compliant During Corporate Changes
VAT Tax Group Deregistration is the process of removing one or more companies from a VAT group, or dismantling the entire tax group, when the group no longer meets eligibility requirements or business needs change.
Common reasons include:
- Sale of a subsidiary or entity closure
- Companies no longer under common control
- Licensing or activity changes
- Internal restructuring or liquidation
- VAT planning inefficiencies
Failure to deregister in a timely manner may lead to compliance risks, incorrect filings, and FTA penalties.
