Excise Tax Registration

Excise Tax Registration with Tulpar Global Taxation

Excise tax is an indirect tax levied on specific goods that are harmful to health or the environment, such as tobacco products, energy drinks, carbonated beverages, and electronic smoking devices. In the UAE, businesses that manufacture, import, or stockpile these excise goods must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to comply with excise tax regulations. Tulpar Global Taxation offers expert excise tax registration services to help businesses navigate this process efficiently and stay compliant with local laws.

What is Excise Tax?

Excise tax is a consumption-based tax imposed on certain goods that are deemed harmful to public health or the environment. The goal of excise tax is to reduce consumption of these goods by making them more expensive, while also generating revenue for the government. In the UAE, excise tax rates are as follows:

• 100% on tobacco products
• 100% on energy drinks
• 50% on carbonated beverages
• 100% on electronic smoking devices and liquids used in these devices

Businesses involved in the production, importation, or distribution of these goods must register for excise tax with the FTA.

Why is Excise Tax Registration Important?

Excise tax registration is mandatory for businesses that handle excise goods. Failure to register on time or comply with excise tax obligations can result in hefty penalties and fines. Key reasons to register for excise tax include:

• Legal Compliance: Excise tax registration ensures your business is compliant with UAE laws, helping you avoid legal consequences and financial penalties.
• Avoiding Fines: Businesses that fail to register or pay excise tax can face significant fines, which could negatively impact your financial standing.
• Tax Reclaims: Registered businesses can reclaim excise tax paid on certain goods used for business purposes, potentially improving cash flow.
