Journey from Tax Free to Comprehensive Tax Regime in GCC - VAT
Economic Substance Regulations (“ESR) have been introduced in countries with low or no corporate taxes, in order to comply with international initiatives to combat harmful tax practices including unlawful avoidance or evasion. Particularly w.r.t UAE, it introduced the ESR in 2019 [which has been recently updated], to honor its commitment as a member of the OECD Inclusive Framework on BEPS, and in response to a review of the UAE tax reporting framework by the European Union (EU). The purpose of the Regulations is to ensure that UAE entities undertaking certain activities report actual profits that are commensurate with the economic activity undertaken within the UAE. With the same intent, even the Kingdom of Bahrain introduced ESR in 2018.
