Economic Substance Regulations in UAE

The UAE was added to the European Union list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions by the European Commission and this was the reason behind the issuance of the economic substance regulations.

Economic substance registration (ESR) is of the many initiatives taken by the UAE with regards to the requirements of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The Registrar of Companies (“Registrar”) is the Regulatory Authority designated in the DIFC for the UAE Economic Substance Regulations (“ESR”). This guideline is generally issued in countries that do not have corporate taxes for complying with international initiatives in response to harmful tax practices. The main Aim of ESR is to ensure UAE is conducting activities that report actual profits in proportion to the economic activity. The Regulations and guidance apply in all UAE jurisdictions, including financial free zones such as the DIFC.

As per the ESR norms all DIFC firms that conduct one or more ‘relevant activities are required to file an Economic Substance Notification or Economic Substance Report electronically on the Ministry of Finance portal, even if they have submitted the same in the DIFC portal. The main aim of ESR is that it helps in complying with the requirements of entities incorporated in the UAE to show that the companies are conducting economic activities in the UAE.
