Description
UAE Excise Tax is an indirect tax levied on specific goods deemed harmful to human health or the environment. Introduced on 1 October 2017 under Federal Decree-Law No. (7) of 2017, it is administered by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and applies at the point of production, import, or release from a designated excise zone.
The dual goal of excise duty in the UAE is to generate non-oil government revenue and simultaneously curb consumption of goods that carry significant public health costs, such as tobacco, energy drinks, and sweetened beverages.
