Your DIFC Business Has UBOs

Further to the numerous changes adopted by the authorities in relation to DIFC businesses, and some enquiries we’ve been getting in respect of the UBO regime, please keep in mind every DIFC business:

1. has ultimate beneficial owners (“UBOs”);
2. is required to prepare and maintain a UBO register; and
3. must file UBO details with the Registrar of Companies via the DIFC portal.

You must comply with the above requirements by 10th of February 2019.

Failure to do so may result in the imposition of a fine on your company in the sum of USD 25,000.

Our team of experts will be delighted to assist you in:

1. assessing who the UBOs of your business are;
2. drafting the UBO register; and
3. submitting the UBO details via the DIFC Portal; of your entity.
