ESR Compliance Services in the UAE | BMS Auditing

Ensure your business meets the UAE Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) with BMS Auditing. Our experts offer comprehensive ESR compliance services, including notifications, returns, structuring, and more.

The UAE's ESR is related to the adverse effects of tax practices and siphoning off profits to jurisdictions with low or no tax. ESR ensures companies conduct genuine economic activities in the UAE and not merely benefit from the UAE's tax avoidance attributes. For any kind of business engaged in such activities, compliance with ESR would be compulsory. Failure to adhere to it would attract fines or reputational damage. BMS Auditing helps your business enjoy professional advice and support to fully meet all ESR requirements in the UAE.

The UAE government introduced the Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) aimed to suppress tax evasion and avoidance practices normally exerted by MNCs. Such practices include shifting profits to countries with little or no tax, although they carry out their core activities elsewhere. That is why the ESR ensures that businesses carrying on operations in the UAE are undertaking substantial activities within it and contribute to the economy of the country.

This means that businesses operating in certain lines of business must demonstrate they have a real presence in the UAE and are not merely routing profit through the country as a tax haven from more significant taxation elsewhere. ESR compliance shows anyone analyzing your company's activities that it is carrying out income-generating activities in the UAE and paying taxes accordingly.

What is ESR Compliance?

ESR compliance means that the business must meet several demands set by the UAE to prove it carries out relevant economic activities within that jurisdiction. The above-mentioned activities must relate to income-generating processes, and the businesses must establish and prove an appropriate substantive level in the UAE. After these requirements have all been passed, the business submits different types of ESR notifications and ESR returns every year.

The ESR was put into force in April 2019 based on the decision by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 31 of 2019 and further detailed in Ministerial Decision No. 215 of 2019. In this, a wide category of activities comes under its scope, like banking, shipping, holding companies, intellectual property, and more. Non-compliance may lead to fines and other punishments for parties.

Activities Covered by ESR in UAE

Economic Substance Requirements: ESR applies concerning any business carried on within the UAE for which a taxable income is generated. The following are some examples of business included:

Banking and insurance

Shipping companies

Holding companies

Headquarter businesses

Investment and fund managers

Lease and finance businesses

Intellectual property management

Distribution and service center companies

The entities that undertake these types of activities need to prove to the ESR compliance standard that they have a substantial presence in the UAE. In other words, businesses will be required to prove that they are not only registered in the UAE but are also engaged in business within the borders of the UAE. Natural persons, sole proprietorships, trusts, or foundations are exempt from the regulations. 

Here is our ESR Compliance Service:

BMS Auditing offers full services to ensure that your business remains fully compliant with ESR regulations. Our team of experts evaluates the current activities and assesses them to decide if it meet the set requirements for ESR compliance. Our ESR compliance services include: 

ESR Notifications and Returns: We guide you through the accurate and timely submission of ESR notifications and returns complying with annual reporting requirements.

Analysis of the ESR Test: We guide you on whether your business is doing relevant activities under the ESR guidelines and whether you meet the relevant conditions.

Document preparation: we walk you step by step through preparing the necessary documents to show the economic substance of your business activities in the UAE.

Consulting on business structuring: Our business will consult you on how your business has to be structured to be fully ESR compliant in the UAE, and we shall initiate necessary changes.

Avoiding penalties: Our business will explore ways of avoiding such fines and penalties arising from noncompliance with ESR in businesses, thus avoiding unnecessary costs and reputational damage.

Why Your Business Needs to Ensure ESR Compliance

If your business satisfies ESR requirements, it will save penalties, protect its reputation, and make meaningful contributions to the economy of the UAE. In this regard, ESR compliance also demonstrates that your business adheres to international standards in tax equity that support transparency and ethical business practices.

The Economic Substance Regulations leave no stone unturned to ensure that your organization builds great relations with clients, investors, and regulators of economic substance regulations. This builds your "corporate goodwill" and makes you stronger in the UAE market.

BMS Auditing is staffed by expert professionals, well-equipped with the necessary tax know-how on UAE tax law. Our consultants specialize in helping businesses navigate current and new regulatory situations, optimize tax strategies, and minimize non-compliance risks.

UAE Tax Updates

Recently, the UAE has witnessed various tax reform measures. In 2023, the UAE brought in Corporate Tax for companies, which was previously applicable to oil companies and foreign banks as CT. Under the recently enacted Corporate Tax Law, income above AED 375,000 or approximately USD 102,000 is subject to a levy of 9 percent. Another new feature of this is compliance with transfer pricing provisions for transactions executed between parties associated with each other. This also remains another clause according to the OECD guidelines.

Introduced in addition to corporation tax was VAT, at the standard rate of 5% applicable to the UAE from 2018, levied upon taxable goods and services. This has added more to the weight of business burdens that are now also expected to meet the new VAT reporting and filing obligations. 

These include Excise Tax, which is paid for goods considered to give rise to adverse effects on health or environment, and Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), which require a business in the UAE to have significant economic activities by reporting profits that are according to the real course of business.

Tax Agent in UAE / BMSAuditing

A tax agent in Dubai is usually appointed on behalf of another person to represent him before the Federal tax authority. A tax agent in Dubai takes care of the business’s tax obligations and ensures that all the functions of a business are in line with the rules and regulations of the FTA. BMS Auditing UAE is FTA Approved and Certified Tax Agent in UAE. 

BMS Auditing, a registered tax agent in UAE, acts as a mediator between Federal Tax Authority and taxable persons. BMS represents your company as a taxable body in front of the FTA.

[bmsauditing2025]

Excise tax registration in UAE is required for any business that imports, produces or stockpiles excise goods, or releases them from a designated zone. An excise tax registration service in UAE needs to be done as per the law of the UAE. BMS Auditing is offering the best and most timely excise tax registration services in UAE.

Excise tax registration in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the process by which businesses or individuals engaged in certain activities or selling certain products are registered with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and are required to pay excise tax on those products. An excise tax is a tax on certain goods that are considered harmful to public health or the environment, such as tobacco, sugary drinks, and energy drinks.

Registered businesses must file excise tax returns on a regular basis and pay the tax due on their excise goods. Failure to register for excise tax or to pay the tax due can result in penalties and fines imposed by the FTA. Our Excise Tax Consultants in UAE help you to register, submit audit and file your tax returns effectively with 100% compliance through the best Excise Tax Advisory Services.

Who is required to register for Excise Tax?

Businesses engaging with the following activities will be subjected to excise tax registration,

Importing excise goods to the UAE

Producing excise goods released to be consumed in the UAE

Stockpiling the excise goods

Whoever is responsible for overseeing the excise warehouse or specific zone, such as the warehouse keeper

FTA provides high-end support and guidance to assist with this task, although it is the responsibility of the business to ensure the fulfillment of the required compliance. FTA can conduct audits of taxable corporates, thus imposing penal measures on those not complying with the law.

Exemptions for Excise Tax Registration

For those who do not import excise goods regularly, there may be an exemption from the registration requirement. To qualify for this exemption, the individual or business would need to prove that they do not import excise goods more than once in six months or four times in twenty-four months. In other words, if they only import excise goods once every six months or less frequently than that, they may not need to register for excise tax.

However, if an individual or business qualifies for this exemption, they may still be required to pay excise tax on imported goods that exceed the duty-free threshold. The duty-free threshold is the maximum value of goods that can be imported without incurring customs duties or taxes. If the value of the excise goods exceeds the duty-free threshold, the individual or business would still be responsible for paying the applicable excise tax.

Documents required for Excise Tax Registration in UAE

You may better comprehend the fundamental processes and documentation required for the activity by using the appropriate excise tax auditing services. You must gather a number of documents linked to the registration process in order to register for excise tax in the UAE.
