Managing Asset Sales & Investment Gains with Strategic Precision

At Grantson Consulting, we help individuals and businesses navigate Capital Gains Tax (CGT) regulations efficiently—particularly when disposing of high-value assets like real estate, stocks, business interests, or intellectual property in taxable jurisdictions.

What is Capital Gains Tax?

CGT is a tax imposed on the profit realized from the sale of capital assets, such as properties, securities, or business shares. While some countries or regions (like the UAE) may not currently impose CGT, many clients with international holdings or investments are subject to such taxes abroad.

Our Capital Gains Tax Services Include:

1. Capital Asset Profiling
   We review your portfolio to identify assets subject to CGT, estimate your potential gains, and assess allowable deductions or exemptions.

2. International CGT Compliance
   If you are subject to CGT in other jurisdictions (e.g., UK, US, EU), we guide you through reporting, documentation, and filing to avoid legal complications or penalties.

3. Pre-Transaction Planning
   We help structure sales or transfers in a way that minimizes tax liabilities — for example, through timing strategies, reinvestment planning, or holding company structures.

4. Real Estate CGT Advisory
   From residential properties to commercial investments, we provide clarity on real estate CGT rules and advise on exemptions, primary residence relief, or depreciation recapture.

   We provide expert defence and assistance if your capital gains are scrutinized by foreign or local tax authorities.

At Grantson Consulting, we recognize that transparency in ownership is a foundational pillar of corporate integrity and regulatory compliance. Our UBO compliance services help businesses meet legal obligations by accurately identifying, verifying, and reporting Ultimate Beneficial Owners in accordance with local and international regulations.

What is UBO Compliance?

The Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) is the natural person who ultimately owns or exercises significant control over a legal entity. UBO regulations are designed to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion, and other financial crimes by removing anonymity in corporate structures.

Why UBO Compliance Matters

1. Transparency & Accountability
   UBO regulations ensure transparency in corporate ownership, helping authorities trace the individuals who truly control a business.

2. AML & CTF Alignment
   UBO disclosure is central to global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) frameworks. Non-compliance can lead to serious legal and financial repercussions.

3. Regulatory Enforcement
   UAE and KSA jurisdictions, among others, have made UBO disclosure a statutory requirement. Non-compliance can result in penalties, license suspension, and reputational harm.

Our UBO Compliance Services Include:

1. UBO Identification & Verification
   We help you trace and confirm the identity of natural persons who hold significant ownership or control, including through complex structures or foreign investments.

2. Document Management & Record Keeping
   We assist in compiling and maintaining accurate UBO records — including corporate ownership charts, legal agreements, and supporting documentation — in compliance with statutory requirements.

3. UBO Risk Profiling
   We conduct risk-based assessments of identified UBOs, evaluating legal, financial, and reputational risks to flag high-risk individuals or entities.

4. Policy & Framework Development
   We design internal UBO compliance policies, SOPs, and staff training modules to ensure your business aligns with evolving regulatory expectations.

5. Regulatory Reporting & Submission
   We handle your UBO filings and declarations through government portals (e.g., Ministry of Economy UAE or GAZT KSA), ensuring timely and complete submissions.

6. Ongoing UBO Monitoring
   Ownership structures can change — and we help you stay compliant with continuous monitoring, periodic updates, and real-time alerts for structural shifts.

Why Choose Grantson Consulting?

• Deep Regulatory Insight: Our team stays ahead of regulatory changes across the GCC and beyond.

• Tailored Compliance Strategy: Every business has a different ownership model. We craft a UBO strategy that aligns with yours.

• Confidential & Accurate Processing: We maintain high standards of confidentiality and precision in handling sensitive ownership data.

Ensure your business meets its UBO obligations with full confidence.
