Excise Tax Implementation & Training in UAE.
In October 2017, the United Arab Emirates announced for the first time an excise duty on certain goods. It applies to more than 1 700 goods that are harmful to the environment or human health. These goods include energy or carbonated drinks, electronic smoking devices, alcohol, tobacco, and other related products.
Every company dealing in these types of goods must comply with the excise duty requirements under the Tax Procedures Act. The UAE tax regime is amended from time to time in line with the latest business requirements. Our tax consultancy services will provide you with professional excise duty implementation and training in the UAE to facilitate your compliance with FTA tax rules and guidelines.
Scope of excise duty in the UAE
The introduction of excise duty in the UAE is not only a means of generating revenue for the government but also aims at reducing the consumption of unhealthy products. Regulators have a duty to reduce the availability of harmful products on the market. This initiative was implemented to indirectly control the health problems of the population and to promote healthy lifestyles throughout the Emirates. All organizations are therefore required to comply with excise duty in the UAE and ensure that their corporate social responsibilities are met.
