UBO Declaration

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced a new regulation requiring companies operating in Dubai to declare their ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs). The UBO declaration is a process of identifying and reporting the individuals who ultimately own or control a company, including their personal information and percentage of ownership. This regulation aims to increase transparency and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing in the UAE. Companies are required to submit their UBO declaration to the relevant authorities, and failure to do so may result in penalties or fines. It is essential for companies to comply with this regulation to avoid any legal consequences and maintain their reputation and credibility in the market.
