Tax in a free zone

A free zone company that meets the "qualifying" conditions — real presence in the zone and mostly qualifying income — can pay 0% on qualifying income, but other income is taxed at 9%. VAT is 5% and registration is required once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000. Our tax and accounting team keeps you compliant.
