Excise Tax Registration

What Is Excise Tax Registration?

Excise Tax Registration is mandatory for businesses involved in the activities of producing, importing, or warehousing excisable goods, such as:

  • Tobacco and tobacco-related products

  • Energy drinks

  • Carbonated beverages

  • Electronic smoking devices and tools

  • Sweetened drinks

Businesses must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) before carrying out any of these activities. Non-compliance can lead to fines, business disruption, and reputational damage.

Required Documents for Excise Tax Registration

For excise tax registration in the UAE, the following documents are typically required:

  1. Trade License: A copy of the company’s trade license issued by the relevant economic department.
  2. Emirates ID: Identification documents of the company’s legal representatives, such as a copy of the Emirates ID.
  3. Passport Copies: Copies of the passports of the company’s legal representatives and authorized signatories.
  4. Proof of Business Address: Documents verifying the business address, such as utility bills or lease agreements.
  5. Bank Account Details: Information about the company’s bank accounts, including bank statements.
  6. Corporate Documents: Documents such as the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA), which outline the company’s structure and purpose.

Ensure that all documents are up-to-date and comply with the Federal Tax Authority’s (FTA) guidelines to avoid delays in the registration process.
