Excise tax return filing services in the UAE
Excise tax return filing is an important compliance obligation for businesses registered under the UAE Excise tax regime. CLA Emirates provides comprehensive excise tax return filing services to help businesses accurately determine and report their Excise Tax liabilities to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Our services include reviewing excisable goods, taxable transactions, imports, exports, stock movements, and relevant accounting records to ensure that the information reported in the Excise Tax return is accurate and properly supported.
Our excise return submission UAE services cover the preparation, review, reconciliation, and submission of Excise Tax returns through the EmaraTax portal. We reconcile the relevant transaction and inventory records with customs declarations, invoices, stock reports, and accounting records to identify discrepancies before filing. The applicable excise tax liability is reviewed and the return is submitted within the prescribed deadlines, helping businesses maintain timely compliance and reduce the risk of errors and penalties.
CLA Emirates also assists businesses with excise declaration filing and ongoing compliance reviews. We assess purchases, imports, production, sales, transfers, exports, disposals, and movements of excisable goods, including goods held under tax suspension arrangements where applicable. Our review helps identify issues such as incorrect product classification, unreported transactions, stock discrepancies, missing documentation, or differences between accounting records and previous excise tax declarations. Where discrepancies are identified, we provide practical recommendations for corrective action.
Beyond excise tax return filing, we provide ongoing FTA compliance support, including assistance with FTA queries, clarification requests, additional information requirements, and review of Excise Tax records. Our approach focuses on maintaining consistency between accounting records, inventory records, customs documentation, and FTA declarations. By maintaining accurate records and undertaking regular compliance reviews, businesses can strengthen their excise tax processes, address potential issues proactively, and remain compliant with UAE federal tax authority requirements.
