- The UAE FTA issued EXTP014, updating rules on excise tax exemption for Natural Shortage of excise goods in Designated Zones.
- Natural Shortage refers to losses from natural causes (e.g., evaporation) during production, storage, or transport, not due to negligence or theft.
- Tax exemption requires an Independent Competent Entity’s Report, valid for one year, to determine permissible shortage percentages.
- Relevant Persons must notify the FTA of shortages via EmaraTax, with strict documentation and renewal requirements.
- Transitional provisions allow reports issued within 12 months from 1 July 2025 to remain valid until 30 June 2027 if applied for by 31 March 2026.
