Simpler cases take around 10 to 25 days, while cases with the full newspaper objection period and VAT deregistration take about 45 to 60 days. Common causes of delay include the parent company taking time to issue an attested board resolution, FTA VAT review, bank compliance and KYC for account closure, pending labour cases, tenancy disputes, old fines that only surface on system review, and Local Service Agent contract issues.
