Monthly Excise Tax Compliance Requirements

Excise Tax Return Filing has to be done by a registered excise taxpayer every tax period wherein:

  • Imported
  • Produced
  • Released for consumption
  • Removed from designated zones


There could be a necessity to file a no-activity return in case there is nil activity for a tax period depending on FTA regulations. Our consultants ensure that all requisite filing has been done without missing and error.

Our Approach to Filing the Excise Tax Return

Risians has in place a structured and compliance-oriented process for excise tax submission as follows:

  • It is specific to excisable goods transacted for the tax period.
  • Verification includes quantities, product classifications, and tax rates.
  • Excise tax valuation with methods approved by the FTA.
  • Reconciliation of stock movements, imports, and production data.
  • Preparation and submission of monthly excise tax returns through the FTA portal.
  • Keeping an eye on the deadline so as not to incur late submission penalties.


This methodical process ensures that all returns are fully accurate, audit-ready, and compliant with deadlines.

Excise Tax Valuation & Stock Reconciliation

One of the most critical aspects of excise tax return filing is correct valuation and inventory reconciliation. Discrepancies between declared stock, customs records, and accounting data are among the most common reasons for FTA audits.

Our excise tax consultants can assist businesses in:

  • Reconciling physical stock to accounting records and customs records;
  • Validating calculations of excise tax bases;
  • Identifying discrepancies prior to filing;
  • Retaining documentation for future audit purposes.

Avoiding Penalties Through Accurate Filing

Failure to file excise tax returns on time or submitting incorrect data can result in:

  • Fixed and percentage-based penalties
  • FTA audits and assessments
  • Operational disruptions
  • Reputational risk

By outsourcing excise tax return filing to Risians, businesses reduce compliance risks while ensuring adherence to UAE excise tax laws.
