Free Zone Corporate Tax Advisory
Free Zone Corporate Tax Advisory Services in UAE
At Accruon Auditing LLC, we provide expert corporate tax advisory services tailored for UAE free zone companies. While many businesses assume that setting up in a free zone automatically guarantees a 0% corporate tax rate, the reality is that the exemption comes with strict conditions under the UAE Corporate Tax Law. Failure to comply may result in being taxed at the standard 9% rate.
Our specialized team supports free zone entities in navigating these conditions, conducting compliance audits, and ensuring your business remains eligible for tax benefits.
Why Free Zone Corporate Tax Advisory is Important
Recent corporate tax regulations have made it clear that not all free zone companies automatically qualify for 0% corporate tax exemption. To be considered a Qualifying Free Zone Person, a business must:
- Maintain adequate substance in the UAE (employees, assets, and expenses).
- Earn only Qualifying Income (such as exports or transactions with other free zones).
- Remain within the de-minimis rule (non-qualifying income not exceeding 5% or AED 5 million).
- Prepare and submit audited financial statements annually.
- Comply with FTA reporting and documentation requirements.
Our Free Zone Corporate Tax Advisory Services
We provide a complete range of tax advisory and compliance services for free zone businesses, including:
