- The UAE Ministry of Finance issued Ministerial Decision No. 229 of 2025, effective from 1 June 2023, detailing qualifying and excluded activities for Free Zone corporate tax. Qualifying activities eligible for a 0% tax rate include manufacturing, commodity trading, and logistics, among others. Excluded activities involve transactions with natural persons, banking, and certain property ownership. A de minimis threshold is set for non-qualifying revenue. Free Zone entities must maintain audited financial statements, with non-compliance leading to loss of tax benefits for up to five tax periods.
