Regulatory Compliance
UAE-Specific Compliance Services
Beyond traditional audit, we help UAE businesses navigate the regulatory obligations that apply to virtually every company operating in the Emirates today.
UAE Corporate Tax (9%)
Effective June 2023. We advise on FTA registration, taxable income calculation, exempt income, group structures, Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status, and annual return preparation. Most UAE businesses now require audited financials as a result.
Economic Substance Regulations (ESR)
We assess ESR applicability for your business, prepare the annual ESR notification and report, and help document the genuine UAE substance your business already demonstrates. Non-compliance penalties can reach AED 50,000–400,000.
UBO Registration & Maintenance
UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 58 of 2020 requires companies to maintain and file Ultimate Beneficial Owner registers. We assist with initial UBO registration, updates within the mandatory 15-day window, and maintaining compliant internal records.
Free Zone Authority Requirements
DIFC, ADGM, JAFZA, DMCC, RAKEZ, and other free zones each have specific annual audit and financial reporting mandates tied to license renewal. We are experienced with all major UAE free zone requirements and can manage submissions directly.
