UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)

Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO): Ensuring Transparency in UAE Businesses

In today’s global business landscape, transparency is crucial. That’s where the concept of Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) comes into play. At Intellect Chartered Accountants, we’re here to help you navigate the complexities of UBO regulations in Dubai and the UAE.

What is an Ultimate Beneficial Owner?

An Ultimate Beneficial Owner is the individual who ultimately owns or controls a company. This person benefits from the company’s operations, even if they’re not listed as the legal owner. UBO regulations aim to prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes by revealing the true owners behind corporate structures.

Why UBO Matters in Dubai and the UAE

The UAE, including Dubai, has implemented strict UBO regulations to enhance its business environment’s transparency. All mainland and free zone companies must identify and register their UBOs. This applies to both new and existing businesses.

Key Aspects of UBO Regulations in the UAE:

1. Identification: Companies must identify individuals owning 25% or more of the business.
2. Registration: UBO details must be submitted to relevant authorities.
3. Regular Updates: Any changes in UBO information must be reported promptly.
4. Record Keeping: Companies must maintain accurate UBO records.
