Excise Tax Deregistration in the UAE

Excise tax was introduced in the United Arab Emirates in October 2017 to limit the adverse effects of specific items on human health and the environment, including energy and sweetened drinks, alcohol, and cigarettes. Companies manufacturing such items must register for excise duty. However, if a company no longer produces excisable items, it must seek the cancellation of its excise duty registration in the UAE.

Deregistration is the process of cancelling excise tax registration in the UAE. In some cases, a registered person must seek cancellation of excise duty registration, such as when they stop taxable operations and do not intend to deal in those items for another 12 months or when local authorities require cancellation.

Deregistration of excise charges in the UAE is done online using the Federal Tax Authority’s official website. When a company no longer produces excisable items, it must file an online form through the Federal Tax Authority’s (FTA) website. The applicant must complete the cancellation form, attach supporting papers, confirm the signatories’ declarations, and then submit the application.
