This report serves to demonstrate whether the company is engaged in relevant activities and if it fulfills the UAE economic substance test. The report must provide comprehensive details regarding the companys activities, including income, expenses, and assets. It is mandatory to submit this report to the Authority within 12 months from the end of the companys financial year. By adhering to this requirement, companies ensure compliance with the economic substance regulations in the UAE.
