Excise tax applies to specified goods under UAE legislation. Product classification, business activity and supply-chain responsibilities need to be understood together.

Practical support. Clear next steps.
Practical support with excise tax classification, registration, reporting and record-keeping for relevant UAE business activities.
Products Subject to Excise Tax
Relevant categories include tobacco products, electronic smoking devices and liquids, energy drinks and sweetened drinks, subject to the statutory definitions and exclusions. Check the current FTA product guidance rather than relying on a product’s marketing name.
Registration Requirements
Review whether activities such as importing, producing or stockpiling excise goods give rise to registration obligations. We help organise business and product information for this assessment.
Excise Tax Reporting
We help reconcile product movements and reporting information. The applicable calculation method depends on the goods; the FTA’s current sweetened-drink guidance describes a tiered volumetric model.
Record-Keeping
Maintain clear product classifications, stock movements, declarations and supporting documents. We help structure records for review and reporting.
Compliance Support
Identify documentation gaps, review changes to product information and establish responsibility for recurring compliance tasks.
