Ministry of Commerce

Cancel Commercial Registration

Permanently cancel a commercial registration with the Ministry of Commerce.

Closing an establishment isn't complete just by stopping work; while the register remains active, obligations such as tax and zakat returns, GOSI contributions and labour fees continue, and penalties may build up unnoticed. Cancelling the register usually requires settling workers' status, closing accounts with linked authorities such as ZATCA, GOSI and Qiwa, and cancelling municipal licences linked to the register. At Tasami we review outstanding obligations, arrange clearances in the right order and follow the cancellation request through Ministry of Commerce platforms until the file is closed properly.
