| Join ACCA and Shiraz Khan, Head of Taxation for Al Tamimi as we take a look the economic substance regulations (“Regulations”) that the UAE introduced last year. The Regulations require companies that are subject to these Regulations to notify their Regulatory Authority, to maintain adequate economic substance in the UAE and to submit an economic substance report to their Regulatory Authority. All notifications (if required) should have been submitted by companies licensed in the UAE by 30 June 2020. Licensees that are subject to the Regulations will need to self-assess their substance status and submit the economic substance report to their Regulatory Authority within 12 months of the financial year end. Companies with a financial year end of 31 December 2019 will be required to submit the report to their Regulatory Authority by 31 December 2020. Therefore there is very limited time for companies to assess the impact of the Regulations on their businesses and to take any necessary action to be compliant. There are serious consequences for non-compliance including financial penalty of up to AED 300,000, the suspension or revocation of the license and the reporting of the licensee to foreign tax authorities. As the Regulatory Authorities should have already been notified where applicable, this webinar will focus on what businesses need to do now from a practical perspective in order to be compliant. Agenda Overview of the economic substance regime in the UAE; Latest developments and guidance issued by authorities; and What businesses should do now in order to comply with the Regulations, practical considerations and related planning points. |
