If you are engaged in importing, exporting, manufacturing, trading, storing or transporting excisable goods such as tobacco, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and energy drinks, the new GCC Excise Tax system will have a significant impact on your business.

The importers, manufacturers and in certain cases other agents in the supply chain are liable to register for Excise Tax, submit periodical returns, pay the Excise Tax due to the local authorities and maintain specific Excise Tax records.

Handling Excise Tax effectively will help your business to reduce the risk of non-compliance while ensuring an efficient management of the Excise Tax liability through the use of the available exemptions, refunds, suspension cases and customs reliefs. We have a dedicated team for Excise Tax who are helping our clients to obtain the best possible practical knowledge to ensure compliance whilst avoiding unnecessary costs, disruption in the supply chain and reputational damage. Perform industry focused business reviews to ensure that companies manage their Excise Tax risk and exposure, identifying savings opportunities and reducing areas of risk and provide advice on structuring business transactions, including cross border transactions, in an Excise Tax cost effective way. We assist in Excise Tax registration and compliance obligations and also assist in Excise Tax audits, disputes and dealing with the Excise Tax authorities.
