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. Norwegians are a community concentrated in energy, maritime and seafood trading, so the Excise Tax Registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Norwegian applications every day and process them without hesitation. The most common businesses Norwegians open through GoldenKey are in oil and gas services, maritime, seafood exports and renewable energy, although Excise Tax Registration supports almost any activity.
Why Excise Tax Registration
In our experience, 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. 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. Many Norwegian founders run Excise Tax Registration companies alongside an existing business in Norway, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
