WhatsApp quoteExcise 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. GoldenKey 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 most common businesses Lithuanians open through GoldenKey are in fintech, laser technology, food exports and logistics, although Excise Tax Registration supports almost any activity. For Lithuanian business owners, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Vilnius, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Lithuania, and English is the business language.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Excise Tax Registration take with the FTA?
The FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Is Excise Tax Registration mandatory for a free zone company?
On the ground, 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.
Can a Lithuanian citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes — Lithuanians can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Lithuanians need a UAE visa before applying for Excise Tax Registration?
No, it does not. You can apply for the licence from Lithuania with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
