Overview

Excise Tax Refund Assistance — Recover Excise Tax on Eligible Goods. Businesses that export excise goods from the UAE or use them for exempt purposes may be entitled to refunds on excise tax already paid. However, the refund process requires careful documentation, accurate claim preparation, and timely submission to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Al Aegis Corporate Services assists businesses with the complete excise tax refund process. We begin by assessing your eligibility for refunds based on the type of goods, their destination, and the applicable excise tax provisions. We then compile all necessary evidence — including export documentation, customs declarations, shipping records, and proof of exempt usage. Our team prepares accurate refund claims and submits them through the FTA portal, ensuring all requirements are met. We actively follow up with the FTA to track your claim status and handle any queries or additional documentation requests. Our goal is to maximize your refund recovery while maintaining full compliance with FTA procedures. Common refund scenarios include excise goods exported outside the UAE, goods transferred to other designated zones, goods used in manufacturing processes that qualify for exemptions, and damaged or destroyed excise goods. Al Aegis identifies all applicable refund opportunities and ensures you recover every dirham you are entitled to.
