Compliances & Regulations
Business must register for VAT if taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000. You can also register to pay VAT voluntarily if your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 187,500. If your business is required to register for VAT, we guide you through the process and ensure that you are fully compliant with all relevant regulations.
If your business is no longer required to be registered for VAT, we can assist with the de- registration process and ensure that all relevant authorities are notified in a timely and accurate manner.
In addition, we also provide legal support for businesses facing VAT-related issues. Our team of experts have extensive experience dealing with VAT disputes, assessments, and other legal issues related to VAT. We can represent your business in discussions with tax authorities and help resolve any issues in a timely and efficient manner.
At Crystal Accounts and Advisory, we understand the importance of compliance with VAT regulations in the UAE and are committed to providing our clients with the guidance and support they need to navigate the complexities of VAT compliance.
Under the ESR, businesses that fail to submit the required notifications or reports or submit them after the deadline may be subject to fines ranging from AED 10,000 to AED 50,000. Repeated violations may result in higher fines, and in some cases, the regulatory authorities may take additional measures, such as revoking the business license or suspending the company's activities.
Our ESR services include ESR assessment, which involves evaluating a business's activities to determine if they meet the substance requirements set out in the regulations.
Our ESR assessment service also includes reviewing the business's operations, assets, employees, and other relevant factors to determine if they have sufficient economic substance in the UAE. If a business is found to be non-compliant, we can help them develop and implement a plan to address any issues and ensure that they meet the requirements of the ESR.
Money laundering is a serious crime that involves the concealment of the true origin of illegally obtained funds. The UAE has implemented strict AML laws and regulations to combat money laundering and other financial crimes. As a result, it is critical for businesses operating in the UAE to have effective AML programs in place to prevent money laundering and ensure compliance with AML laws and regulations.
Businesses in financial services and related industries must adhere to AML regulation. This includes banks, insurers, real estate agents, accountants and more.
Offences under the AML law include opening or maintaining accounts with fake names, failure to carry out due diligence, and failure to take necessary measures to determine risk of crime. Fines for such offences range from AED 50,000 to AED 1m. Offenders may also face imprisonment.
Crystal Accounts and Advisory offers a wide range of services including AML training, risk assessments, compliance audits, and program development.
