Introduced in 2019, the Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) were implemented by the UAE government to align with global standards set by the OECD and the EU. These regulations require certain businesses to maintain adequate economic presence in the UAE and to submit ESR filings annually.

Whether your business operates as a mainland company, free zone entity, or an offshore firm, if you engage in any of the Relevant Activities defined under ESR, compliance is mandatory. Failure to comply can lead to severe penalties, license suspensions, and reputational risks.

At Alamtar, we help businesses across the UAE fulfill their ESR obligations, including impact assessment, notifications, reporting, and filing — ensuring you stay fully compliant.
