Economic Substance Regulation Services

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) is the use of aggressive tax planning strategies by companies to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax jurisdictions. BEPS laws and regulations proposed by the OECD are now enacted into the United Arab Emirates Legislation.
The United Arab Emirates Cabinet of Ministers has issued the Economic Substance Regulations supplemented by guidelines issued on September 11, 2019, which applies to all entities carrying on a Relevant Activity in the UAE, including entities established in Free Zones and Financial Free Zones.
Such entities must exhibit demonstrable Economic Substance as of April 30, 2019, and make reports and notifications to the Regulatory Authority from the financial year 2019 and thereafter or will risk fines and administrative penalties.
