Ensure Compliance and Avoid Penalties with Expert ESR Guidance from Leaf Associates LLC

The UAE has implemented Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) to align with international tax standards and prevent harmful tax practices. Businesses operating in Dubai must comply with these regulations by demonstrating substantial activities, reporting accurately, and maintaining proper documentation.

Avoids heavy fines and penalties from the Ministry of Finance.
