Business Setup & Formation
Excise Advisory Services
Any business in the UAE dealing with excise goods—such as carbonated drinks, energy drinks, tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and sugar-sweetened items—must be registered with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Businesses are required to maintain accurate records of all excise transactions in line with FTA regulations. Inventory records of excise goods should be kept up to date at all times to prevent penalties or fines.
Our Excise Advisory Services Include:
Excise registration and related compliance requirements
Preparation and online filing of excise returns as per FTA-specified periods
