WhatsApp quoteAs a rule, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes Excise Tax Registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting documents must match your licence exactly. Excise Tax Registration is registering for excise tax on tobacco, energy drinks, carbonated drinks and sweetened beverages, and it applies to importers, producers and stockpilers of excise goods, and operators of excise warehouses. Typical examples of this activity include structural consultancy, MEP design, project management and surveying, which can usually sit together on one Excise Tax Registration licence. GoldenKey has licensed engineering consultancy businesses for clients in Excise Tax Registration and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
