The UAE Ministry of Finance issued Decision No. 98 of 2024 updating the Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) and removing the need for companies to report on their Economic Substance for financial years ending after December 31, 2022. 📢 Where previously the ESR would require the reporting of economic activities and profits by UAE mainland and free zone companies to comply with the applicable economic substance standards, the ESR is instead taking an economic reporting-based approach to the dominant activity of companies. However, after several months of deregulation, this reporting requirement has now been waived, indicating a monumental transformation of the regulatory paradigm for thriving economic sectors throughout the UAE. #EconomicSubstance #UAEBusiness #UAERegulations #Dubai #DubaiBusiness #Finance
