excise tax return in UAE is basically a record of the excise that is paid between each tax period. Businesses can file the same on an online FTA portal which are available in English and Arabic languages. Businesses must file their returns on the online FTA portal within a period of 15 days of the tax period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the beginning of 2017, UAE implemented the filing of excise tax returns and this is an indirect tax that is charged to the goods or items that the government feels are harmful towards humans or the environment. Goods to which these taxes are applied are:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>100% on the usage of tobacco and tobacco products, including all the items that are listed in the GCC Common Customs Tariff, Schedule 24.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>50% on carbonated drinks (except for the non-flavoured ones). The taxes may also be applied to the items based on their carbonation percentages.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>100% on energy drinks including caffeine, guarana, ginseng, and taurine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excise_Tax_Rates_in_UAE\"><\/span>Excise Tax Rates in UAE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Carbonated drinks &#8211; 50%<\/li>\n<li>Energy drinks, electronic smoking devices, and tobacco products &#8211; 100%<\/li>\n<li>Any product with added sugar or any other sweetener &#8211; 50%<\/li>\n<li>Liquids used in electronic smoking devices and tools &#8211; 100%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explaining_the_UAE_Tax_Return_System\"><\/span>Explaining the UAE Tax Return System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is not any sort of unified system to foist federal tax legislation in the United Arab Emirates. Although all the taxation rules and regulations work under the emirates, each emirate can set their own set of tax rules. For example, DTTs are responsible for the UAE as a whole, but the actual taxes can be figured out on a local level. Since there is no unique and curated tax regime for citizens, hence it remains the same when it comes to personal or capital income tax.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Submitting_the_Excise_Tax_Returns_UAE\"><\/span>Submitting the Excise Tax Returns UAE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The submitted details in the declarations made would be extracted into the excise tax return and would be auto-populated by the ending of the return period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The information provided for submitting the tax return must be cross-checked and assured. The payment of the tax must be made thereafter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On importing the excise tax return in UAE, the importer has to either pay the tax on the date or before the date of the import of the excise goods.

Each state or the federal government sets its own bar for the excise tax and before investing or purchasing a new asset. Or any capable asset including a new vehicle, therefore learning to manually determine the excise tax based on its original purchase price becomes essential.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The calculation is pretty straightforward and there are various excise tax calculators available for assistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>The excise tax is calculated on the basis of the purchase price. For example: In case the state is imposing an excise tax of 6% of the purchase price for a vehicle. Multiplying that purchase price by 6 and then subtracting the amount from the same would be your payable excise tax.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Calculate the excise tax based on dollar amounts. For example: In case the real estate is taxed at 1.5 dollars per 100 dollars, and the purchase price of the property is 130,000 dollars, then the calculated excise tax would be 1,950 dollars. The equation is later divided by 100, and with excise tax being 1 dollar per 500 dollars, for a vehicle at a cost of 2000 dollars, the excise tax would be around 4 dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Excise tax can also be calculated using online calculators and many websites including state websites and the department of Motor Vehicle websites as they offer a feature of free excise tax calculators. After entering the figures, one can get an estimate of excise tax on the website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In a Nutshell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is ample information available on various websites regarding the excise tax return in UAE, but mentioned above were the basic do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for the same and the basic information anyone would need to know before going ahead with the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended for you :<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 98.858%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 56.8739%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Taxes and Fees for Property Purchases in UAE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 70.457%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/property-tax-in-uae-regart\">Property Tax in UAE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 56.8739%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">What is Corporate Tax in UAE?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 70.457%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/corporate-tax-in-uae-ltart\">Corporate Tax in UAE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 56.8739%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The Tax System in The United Arab Emirates\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 70.457%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/tax-system-in-uae-ltart\">Tax System in UAE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 56.8739%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Prayer Timetable as Per Islam in Dubai<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 70.457%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/prayer-timings-in-dubai-misart\">Prayer Timings in Dubai<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 56.8739%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">VAT Refunds in UAE For Tourists<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 70.457%;\" width=\"308\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/vat-in-uae-ltart\">VAT Refunds in UAE<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Question_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t<section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_an_Excise_Tax_Return_mean\"><\/span>What does an Excise Tax Return mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAn excise tax is usually imposed on the sale of some sort of specific services or goods or on certain kinds of uses.
