Indirect Tax: VAT, Excise Tax
VAT & Excise Tax Compliance, Managed End-to-End
VAT Compliance in the UAE
UAE VAT registration is mandatory for businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 per annum, and voluntary for those exceeding AED 187,500. Once registered, businesses must file VAT returns quarterly or monthly, maintain compliant tax invoices, and keep accurate records for a minimum of five years.
Our VAT specialists manage your complete compliance cycle — ensuring your returns are accurate, submitted on time, and fully reconciled with your financial records. We also identify legitimate input tax recovery opportunities to reduce your overall VAT burden.
Excise Tax in the UAE
Excise Tax applies to specific goods deemed harmful to health or the environment — including tobacco products (100%), energy drinks (100%), carbonated drinks (50%), and sweetened beverages (50%). Businesses importing, producing, or releasing such goods from designated zones must register and file excise returns.
Non-compliance with UAE indirect tax obligations can result in significant FTA penalties including late filing fines, incorrect return penalties, and tax recovery assessments. Brooks Management ensures your indirect tax position is always accurate, current, and protected.
