What this service is
Corporate Tax de-registration closes your Corporate Tax file with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It is required when a business stops operating, for example when it closes, is liquidated or ceases to exist.
The time limit to apply is 3 months from the date the business stops. We prepare the application, final Corporate Tax return and any outstanding balance, so the FTA can confirm your account is clear.

- Check of the date and reason for de-registration
- Preparation and submission of the application

Common questions
How long do I have to apply?
The usual limit is 3 months from the date the business stops. We confirm the exact rule for your case.
Do I still need to file a return?
Normally yes, a final return covers the period up to closure. We prepare it with your last financial statements.
Can I close my trade licence first?
Often the licence is cancelled first, but you must still deal with tax registrations. We help you do the steps in the right order.
