(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- As the UAE's Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) continue to evolve, thousands of businesses are finding themselves confused about classification, notification, and filing obligations. Many are unaware of whether their operations qualify as relevant activities, leading to late filings and heavy fines. In response, The VAT Consultant is offering specialized ESR services that simplify compliance and eliminate the risk of penalties.
