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. Getting Excise Tax Registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. For most clients, for Romanian entrepreneurs, the UAE is around 5 hours from Bucharest, the UAE is 1 to 2 hours ahead of Romania, and English is widely spoken by Romanian professionals. Romanians are a large community working in hospitality, aviation, construction and IT, so the Excise Tax Registration authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Romanian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Excise Tax Registration
From day one, 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. For most clients, keeping records for five years, issuing compliant invoices and filing on time are the ongoing obligations that follow Excise Tax Registration. For Romanians, the practical advantages of Excise Tax Registration are the ease of travel between Romania and the UAE, English is widely spoken by Romanian professionals, and a banking system that processes Romanian leu (RON) transfers daily.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Excise Tax Registration take with the FTA?
In practice, the FTA typically 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?
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?
On the ground, only if you intend to import, produce or stockpile excise goods; registration should be completed before the first transaction.
Can a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes. Romanians can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Romania join me?
As we tell every client, once your investor visa is issued you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
