Five banks and two insurance companies operating in the UAE have been penalised for non-compliance with tax rules, the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) announced on Tuesday.

Financial sanctions totalling Dh2,621,000 were imposed by the Central Bank on the banks and insurance companies for failing to report procedures required by the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) guidelines.

The sanctions were imposed due to the institutions' failure to meet compliance standards, particularly in due diligence and the accuracy of financial reporting, despite the CBUAE granting all licensed financial institutions ample time for rectification.
