You should select the sign-up option if you are a new user of Emara Tax. You may be able to access the Emara Tax online dashboard after successfully logging into your Emara Tax account.  

2. In the Emaratax Dashboard, choose your business.
Upon accessing the Emara Tax dashboard, you will see a list of Taxable Persons associated with your profile. After that, choose the Taxable Person associated with your business and press the “View” button. If your company’s Taxable Person isn’t on the list, you will need to create a new one.

3. Start the VAT Deregistration application.
The application to cancel your company’s VAT registration in the United Arab Emirates should then be opened. At this point, you should click the “Action” button located beneath the dashboard’s VAT indicator.
