Excise Tax is an indirect tax imposed in the UAE on goods considered harmful to public health or the environment, including tobacco products, electronic smoking devices, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, sweetened drinks, and related concentrates. Since its introduction in 2017, and the later expansion of excisable products in 2019, businesses dealing with these goods must manage registration, product classification, declarations, records, and FTA compliance with accuracy.

CLA Emirates is among the experienced excise tax consultants UAE businesses can rely on for practical guidance. We support producers, importers, stockpilers, warehouse keepers, distributors, and trading businesses in determining excise duty UAE obligations, assessing the excise tax rates UAE rules prescribe, preparing FTA registration applications, maintaining compliant documentation, and managing monthly excise tax filings.

Our advisory approach combines technical interpretation of UAE excise tax rules with commercial understanding of supply chains, warehousing, customs movements, and retail distribution. We assist with product registration, warehouse keeper registration, stockpiler obligations, stock audit reviews, return filing, deregistration, and ongoing advisory support so that businesses can reduce penalty exposure and maintain smooth operations.
