What's Included

Everything You Need, Handled

Relevant Activity Check

We test your licence against the nine Relevant Activities — from holding company to distribution — so you notify only when you genuinely must.

MoF Portal Set-Up

We create and configure your account on the Ministry of Finance ESR portal, the single channel for all UAE notifications.

Notification Filing

We complete and submit the ESR notification, declaring your activity, income and financial year correctly the first time.

Exempt Status Handling

Where you qualify as an Exempted Licensee, we notify on that basis and prepare the evidence that supports the claim.

Deadline Management

We track your year-end and lodge the notification inside the six-month window, well ahead of any penalty trigger.

Group Coordination

For multi-entity groups we map every licensee and file consistent notifications across the structure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who has to file an ESR notification in the UAE?+
Any mainland, free zone or offshore licensee that earned income from one of the nine Relevant Activities during the financial period must notify — even if it later qualifies as exempt. The notification is separate from, and earlier than, the ESR report.
When is the ESR notification due?+
Within six months of the end of the relevant financial year. For a year ending 31 December, that means by 30 June the following year. Missing it triggers an AED 20,000 penalty under Cabinet Decision No. 57 of 2020.
Where do we submit the notification?+
On the Ministry of Finance ESR portal, which replaced the earlier regulatory-authority filings. We register your entity there and file directly, then store the confirmation for your records.
Do exempt entities still need to notify?+
Yes. Exempted Licensees — such as certain investment funds, branches of foreign companies taxed elsewhere, and UAE-resident tax entities — must still file a notification and submit evidence of their exemption.
