All UAE entities classified as “Reporting Financial Institutions (RFI)” are required to comply with their FATCA & CRS assessment & reporting obligations by 30th June 2021.
The definition of a RFI is not limited to Regulated Financial Institutions but can also apply to non-regulated, non-financial entities such as Holding Companies, Foundations and Operating Companies carrying out certain activities which are deemed to be “Investment Entities”. This includes ADGM/DIFC holdings and Foundations, as well as similar structures incorporated with other UAE registries.
Those falling within scope are required to file their annual report via the Ministry of Finance portal on or before this date, else face significant financial penalties that can reach as high as AED 250,000 with administrative penalties being applied for every day of failure to comply.
