ESR Filing in UAE – Stay Compliant with Ease

Running a UAE Business with Relevant Activities? Then ESR Filing Is a Must.

If your company is involved in banking, insurance, lease-financing, holding companies, or IP-related work, you need to comply with ESR filing requirements. These rules ensure your business has a real presence and operates genuinely within the UAE—not just on paper.

Why Ignoring ESR Filing Can Cost You More Than You Think

Skipping or delaying your ESR filing isn’t just risky—it’s costly. Missing your filing date can lead to severe consequences:

Heavy Fines and financial penalties.
License Suspension or business activity bans.
Audits and investigations by the FTA.

Regulators want proof that your company is a genuine operating entity. They want to know:

Are you doing real work here?
Do you have an office, people, and income?
Are you just moving money for tax benefits?

Remember: Even if your company earns zero income, you must file an ESR Notification. If you generate income, a detailed ESR Report is mandatory.
