FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ESR submission deadlines?+

The notification is due within six months of the financial year-end and the report within twelve months. For a 31 December year-end, that is 30 June and 31 December respectively the following year. We file both with time to spare.

What is the penalty for late or missed submission?+

Failure to submit the notification carries an AED 20,000 penalty, and failure to submit the report carries AED 50,000. A second consecutive report failure can rise to AED 400,000, plus potential licence suspension. Timely filing avoids all of this.

Can a previously submitted ESR filing be amended?+

Yes. If you spot an error or the Regulatory Authority requests a correction, the portal allows resubmission. We handle amendments quickly and keep evidence of both the original and corrected filings.

Do you need to be a registered agent to submit on our behalf?+

No special licence is required to file ESR submissions, but accuracy and authority matter. We act on your written authorisation, using your portal access, and keep a full audit trail of everything filed.
