Understanding ESR in UAE
Economic Substance Regulations were introduced in the UAE to align with global tax transparency standards and prevent harmful tax practices. ESR in UAE requires entities conducting relevant activities to demonstrate genuine economic presence through adequate employees, expenditure, and physical assets.
The nine relevant activities covered by ESR include: banking business, insurance business, investment fund management, shipping business, lease finance, headquarters business, intellectual property business, holding company business, and distribution and service centre business.
Important regulatory update: Cabinet Decision 98 of 2024 limits ESR application to financial years from January 2019 to December 2022. Entities with financial years starting from January 2023 onwards are no longer required to file ESR notification or ESR reporting. However, businesses must ensure historical ESR filing UAE compliance for the applicable period and maintain documentation for potential FTA review for six years.
