Excise Tax Registration & Filing in the UAE
Excise Tax is an indirect tax on specific goods that are typically harmful to human health or the environment, such as tobacco products, energy drinks, carbonated and sweetened drinks, and electronic smoking devices. If you import, produce or stockpile these goods, you have registration and filing obligations. Analytica MAS registers your business, files your returns and keeps your excise records in order.
