If your products are on the excise list, compliance started before your first sale
UAE excise tax applies to specific goods: tobacco and tobacco products, sweetened drinks, energy drinks, electronic smoking devices and liquids, and certain other products designated by law. The rates are steep (up to 100%), the obligations start early (registration before trading, stockpile declarations), and the penalties for non-compliance are severe.
Many businesses discover excise obligations too late: already importing or selling covered products without registration, unaware of stockpiling rules, or misclassifying products at the boundary of the excise list.
Inspire MS Tax Consultancy provides complete excise tax services in the UAE: determining whether your products are covered, registering you with the FTA, managing ongoing filings, and advising on the rules that apply to your supply chain.
FTA Approved Tax Agency (TAN#30001622) | Established 2019 | Abu Dhabi and Dubai
If you import, manufacture, or stockpile these goods in the UAE, excise obligations likely apply to you. Product classification at the boundary requires careful analysis.
You must notify the FTA within 30 days of the end of the month in which you start (or intend to start) importing, manufacturing, or stockpiling excise goods. Late registration as a stockpiler carries an AED 10,000 penalty. Operating without registration incurs significant penalties.
Excise Liability Assessment — Determining whether your products fall within the excise goods list and whether your activities trigger registration obligations.
Excise Tax Registration — Complete FTA registration: application preparation, product declarations, and issuance of your excise registration.
Stockpile Declarations — Preparing and filing stockpile declarations for goods held at registration or at rate-change dates, as the law requires.
Excise Return Filing — Preparing and submitting periodic excise tax returns accurately and on time, with correct calculation of tax due.
Ongoing Excise Advisory — Day-to-day guidance: new product classifications, supply chain changes, import procedures, and regulatory updates.
Excise Deregistration — Formal closure of excise registration when you cease excise-relevant activities.
Penalty Resolution — Voluntary disclosures and reconsideration support for excise penalties and past non-compliance.
Importers: excise is typically due at import. We ensure correct product classification, valuation, and declaration at the point of import.
Manufacturers: excise applies on production. We set up your compliance for manufacturing-stage liability and reporting.
Distributors and retailers: understanding when liability passes, what documentation to maintain, and how price lists must reflect excise.
New market entrants: pre-launch excise planning so your first shipment is compliant.
