On the ground, excise rates are 100% on tobacco and energy drinks and 50% on carbonated and sweetened drinks. Spanish applicants benefit from the fact that Excise Tax Registration already has many Spanish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Spain documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Excise Tax Registration take with the FTA?
Put simply, the FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
What happens if I miss the Excise Tax Registration deadline?
As a rule, late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
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.
Can a Spanish citizen own 100% of a company in Excise Tax Registration?
Yes. Spanish nationals can own the full share capital of a Excise Tax Registration company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Spanish applicants?
Processing for Spanish nationals follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Spain that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
