What is Excise Tax?

A Targeted Tax for Specific Products

Excise Tax is a form of indirect tax levied on products that are harmful to human health or the environment. In the UAE, this includes tobacco products , energy drinks, carbonated beverages, electronic smoking devices, and sweetened drinks. Businesses involved in the import, production, or storage of such goods must register with the FTA and comply with strict documentation, reporting, and payment requirements.

Failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, penalties, or even business suspension. At Edge, we assist with FTA registration, excise goods classification, return filing, tax impact analysis, and ongoing compliance support. We also help clients implement internal processes to ensure excise tax is calculated and reported correctly at every stage of their supply chain

Our team keeps you updated on any regulatory changes and works to protect your business from risk—so you can focus on operations while we handle your compliance.
