Are you a business in the UAE that has international interests and substance is important? Here's some good news for you! 👇 You no longer need to submit ESR focused filings, now that the UAE has a full structure in place for its corporate tax requirements. Let me break down exactly what this means: - ESR now only applies to accounting periods between January 1 2019 and December 31, 2022. - The compliance process has been simplified, with no more notifications or reporting requirements for periods after 2022. - Admin fines for non-compliance from 2023 onward have been lifted. This doesn’t mean that companies are exempt from the core substance requirements though... Businesses involved in "relevant activities" still need to maintain economic substance. It's crucial these businesses maintain their economic substance by conducting core income-generating activities (CIGA) within the UAE, ensuring proper direction & management and having adequate staff, expenditure and physical presence in the UAE. These fundamentals remain essential, especially if the Federal Tax Authority reviews exemptions. If you're unsure where your business stands when it comes to reporting, fulfilling compliance obligations or substance requirements, drop me a DM - I'll be more than happy to assist! 👍
