In April 2019, the UAE’s Cabinet of Ministers passed Resolution No. 31 of 2019 Concerning Economic Substance. In August 2020, the government rescinded this decree by enacting Resolution No. 57 of 2020. In addition, the government released Ministerial Decision No. 100 of 2020, which included an updated guidance on related Activities.
Regulations on Economic Substances There is an increase in attempts in the UAE to make cross-border transactions more transparent.
