The regulatory guidelines associated with economic substance a term associated with compliance, are, therefore, extremely important and must be followed by most international financial centers. Compliance with the economic substance means that the financial centers do not feature in the EU black list.

Why companies and financial centers need to take care of economic substance?

Every country has a pre-defined economic substance and guidelines associated with the same. Therefore, all the free zone firms, partnerships, LLPs, and offshore organizations need to abide by the same for avoiding the EU black list. The regulations hold true for banking businesses, insurance businesses, shipping conglomerates, and almost every company that functions in the given region.

Companies are better off when the ‘Substance over form’ approach is followed. This aspect makes sure that every activity is licensed and within the existing scope of the EU-centric regulations.
