WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey handles Excise Tax Registration for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. The Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes Excise Tax Registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting paperwork must match your licence exactly. Crucially, croatian hospitality and nautical expertise is increasingly present in the UAE, which gives Croatian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Excise Tax Registration licence is granted. The most common businesses Croatians open through GoldenKey are in hospitality, yachting, IT services and sports management, although Excise Tax Registration supports almost any activity.
Why Excise Tax Registration
For most clients, penalties for late Excise Tax Registration or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, which is why GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax request for Excise Tax Registration, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. For most clients, many Croatian founders run Excise Tax Registration companies alongside an existing business in Croatia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
Documents required
For most clients, the document list for excise tax registration for Croatian-owned companies is short, and most customers already have everything on it.
- Memorandum of association showing shareholders
- Trade licence and certificate of incorporation
- Customs code and import records where applicable
- Bank account letter or IBAN certificate
- Passport and Emirates ID of the authorised signatory
- Turnover evidence such as invoices, contracts or financial statements

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss the Excise Tax Registration deadline?
Late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
Does Excise Tax Registration apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Importantly, only if you intend to import, produce or stockpile excise goods; registration should be completed before the first transaction.
Can GoldenKey act as my tax agent?
It can. GoldenKey can prepare and submit filings on your behalf and handle FTA correspondence, so you have one point of contact for licence, visa and tax matters.
How long does the process take for Croatian applicants?
As we tell every client, processing for Croatians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Croatia that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Can a Croatian citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes. Croatians can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
