In March 2021, UAE as well as other 11 tax havens commenced their first exchange of information relating to economic substance. Therefore, it is critical for multinational group to be compliant with Economic Substance Regulation (ESR) in UAE and take corrective measures on immediate basis to mitigate challenges at global level. With first compliance season completed on 31 January 2021, it is recommended to plan early for the second compliance season which is due on 30 June 2021.
