VAT Deregistration
If your business has stopped making taxable supplies, or has fallen below the level at which registration is required, the registration should be closed rather than left running. We check eligibility, clear what is outstanding and file the deregistration.
Why it matters
Why VAT Deregistration matters
A VAT registration you no longer need is not harmless. It keeps its filing obligations whether or not there is anything to report.
Nil returns are still returns
A dormant registration still has to file. Closing it is what removes the obligation.
Eligibility has conditions
Deregistration is not automatic on request. The grounds and the timing both matter.
Outstanding items block it
Unfiled returns or unpaid amounts will stop the application. Better to find them first.

Questions
VAT Deregistration: common questions
No, but the intervening periods may still need returns before the registration can be closed. We check the history and deal with what is outstanding.
No. It is an application with conditions attached, and it has to be made. Until it is granted, the registration and its obligations continue.
