We work with businesses across all major Free Zones including DMCC, IFZA, RAKEZ, Dubai South, ADGM, DIFC, and JAFZA. Each zone has slightly different requirements, and we tailor our approach accordingly.
Most Free Zones require audited financial statements for licence renewal. Even where not mandatory, having IFRS-compliant financials is best practice for banking, investment, and Corporate Tax compliance. We prepare audit-ready accounts and coordinate with approved auditors.
Qualifying income generally includes income from transactions with other Free Zone persons and certain types of income from mainland transactions that meet specific conditions. Non-qualifying income is taxed at 9%. We analyse your revenue streams to maximise your qualifying income exemption.
UAE businesses carrying out certain 'relevant activities' must demonstrate adequate economic substance in the UAE — meaning employees, premises, and decision-making. We help you understand the requirements and maintain compliance documentation.
