Dubai has suspended the 30 per cent municipality tax on all alcoholic beverages as well as the personal liquor licence fee.
迪拜已经暂停征所有酒精饮料30%的市政税以及个人酒类许可费。
From January 1, 2023 personal liquor licences will be free-to-obtain for those eligible to legally purchase alcoholic beverages in Dubai. A valid Emirates ID, or Passport for tourists, will still be required to apply.
从2023年1月1日开始，所有在迪拜可合法购买酒类饮料的都将免费获得个人酒类许可证。但还是需要出示阿联酋身份证或护照。
A person must be at least 21 to drink legally in the UAE, and alcohol can only be consumed privately or in licensed public places.
在迪拜，合法饮酒的年龄需要在21岁以上，并且只能个人消费或在许可的公共场所饮酒。
Tyrone Reid, Group CEO of Maritime and Mercantile International (MMI) & Emirates Leisure Retail said, “Following the announcement by the Government of Dubai to remove the 30 per cent municipality tax on sales of alcoholic beverages, we are pleased to announce that this will be reflected across all alcoholic beverage products in all our 21 MMI stores in Dubai, effective January 1."
MMI的CEO-Tyrone Reid说道“在迪拜政府宣布取消酒精类饮料30%的市政税后，我们也很高兴宣布从1月1日开始，全迪拜21家MMI商店的所有酒精类饮品也都将作出相应的调整。”
在迪拜，有两家比较大的酒类销售商店，一个是MMI，另外一个是African+Eastern，在谷歌地图上搜索即可找到。对于中国人，凭借护照就可以直接购买，酒品种类齐全，但目前还没有见到过中国酒。
此次，直接取消30%的市政税，将进一步拉低迪拜的酒的价格，跟邻国沙特相比，在吸引外国人上，具有更加无法超越的吸引力。
