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. Getting Excise Tax Registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. The most common businesses Germans open through GoldenKey are in engineering, industrial machinery, automotive and renewable energy, although Excise Tax Registration supports almost any activity. GoldenKey has German customers from Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Germany and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why Excise Tax Registration
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. The steps for Excise Tax Registration are: register on EmaraTax as an excise taxable person, register each product on the FTA product list, apply for a designated zone if warehousing and then file monthly excise returns. German applicants benefit from the fact that Excise Tax Registration already has many German shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Germany documents and name formats instantly.

Why the UAE
The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, and that is why so many business owners choose it as a base for excise tax registration for German-owned companies. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for excise tax registration for German-owned companies and makes international pricing simple.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Is Excise Tax Registration mandatory for a free zone company?
To be clear, excise registration depends on the goods, not the jurisdiction. A free zone company importing or stockpiling excise goods must register, and designated-zone warehousing requires its own approval.
Does Excise Tax Registration apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Only if you intend to import, produce or stockpile excise goods; registration should be completed before the first transaction.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Germany and the UAE?
As a rule, the UAE has double taxation agreements with more than 130 countries. Whether Germany is covered and how it applies to you depends on the current treaty position, which GoldenKey checks with a tax adviser before you rely on it.
Can a German citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes. Germans can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
