A warehouse keeper is an individual or entity responsible for managing excise goods stored or manufactured within designated zones, which are secure areas approved by the FTA. These goods remain untaxed until released for consumption. Designated Zones must comply with specific physical security standards, including fencing, restricted access, and customs monitoring, to ensure proper handling of excise goods.

Registration of Designated Zones for Excise Tax

Handle excise goods such as tobacco products, carbonated beverages, or energy drinks
Maintain robust physical security and monitoring systems
Implement accurate accounting and stock management systems
Fulfill all FTA’s infrastructure, security, and operational requirements

A designated zone is a specific fenced area approved by the FTA where excise goods are manufactured, stored, or handled under tax suspension. These zones are subject to strict security and compliance measures, including customs control, stock monitoring, and restricted access. Goods stored in a designated zone are exempt from excise tax until they are released for consumption within the UAE.

To ensure a smooth and efficient VAT registration process, make sure you have the following documents ready. Our team will assist you in verifying and submitting these to avoid delays.

Allows businesses to store and handle excise goods without immediate tax liability
Operate within the legal framework defined by UAE tax laws
Facilitate secure and monitored excise goods management
Simplify the movement, storage, and manufacturing of excise goods
Submit a complete application with the FTA, including detailed operational and security plans, intended activities, and excise goods type.
The FTA evaluates the application to ensure compliance with physical, financial, and operational standards.
Once approved, the FTA issues the Designated Zone certificate, authorizing the storage, manufacture, and movement of excise goods within the zone.
The FTA may conduct site inspections to verify physical security requirements, such as fencing, alarms, and restricted access systems.
Zones must be fenced, with secured access points, alarm systems, and appropriate lighting.
Customs controls must monitor the entry and exit of excise goods.
Maintain a real-time accounting and inventory system to track goods entering, exiting, or stored within the zone.
Submit periodic reports detailing stock levels and movements to the FTA.

Designated Zone registration is valid for 12 months and must be renewed at least 20 days prior to expiration. Failure to renew on time results in suspension or expiration of the zone’s status, leading to excise tax liability for goods stored within the zone.
