Excise Tax Registration

Who should register for excise tax?

A business or a person who is involved in producing, importing, transferring, or stockpiling excise goods should register and pay for excise. Businesses cannot take part in any transaction that involves excise goods unless they have registered for excise tax first.

• A copy of the passport.
• The Emirates ID.
• The trade license.
• Other official documents approving of the business to administer activities within the UAE.

What are the business details required for the excise tax registration?

• The role for which you are registering for excise tax, such as a producer, importer, transporter, stockpiler, etc.
• The details of the excise goods that the business is involved with.
• If applicable, the details of the Customs Authority registration.
• If registered in another GCC state, provide the TRN for that GCC state.
