On the ground, getting Excise Tax Registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. GoldenKey has Italian clients from Rome, Milan and Turin, and our consultants understand the papers granted in Italy and how to attest them for the UAE. Day to day, italians are a growing community of designers, restaurateurs, engineers and traders, so the Excise Tax Registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Italian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Excise Tax Registration
GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for Excise Tax Registration, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is released. Penalties for late Excise Tax Registration or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, so GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. Italian applicants benefit from the fact that Excise Tax Registration already has many Italian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Italy documents and name formats instantly.
