On January 1, the levy on alcoholic beverages in the UAE was removed<\/a> and some liquor stores across Dubai have confirmed they have already implemented the deduction.<\/p>\n

When the news broke that the 30% tax on alcohol sales in Dubai would be removed, it was unclear whether this would trickle down to retailers, but MMI has confirmed that all stores have dropped the tax with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Maritime & Mercantile International (MMI) confirmed it has removed the 30% municipality tax on all alcoholic beverages across its 21 stores in Dubai as well as the personal liquor licence fee. These updates are in line with the directives from the Government of Dubai relating to the purchase and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the city.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThese prices are best to stay and are a long-term trial.\u201d<\/h2>\n

African & Eastern stores also confirmed they reduced prices by a minimum of 30% across all the 20 stores in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The move is effective from January 1.<\/p>\n
