Definition
A Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) is a business operating in a UAE free zone that meets certain conditions set by the FTA to benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income.
Key points
Practical example
A logistics company in JAFZA earns income from exports. As a QFZP, it qualifies for 0% tax on this income, provided it meets substance and compliance conditions.
Why it matters
Being a QFZP allows businesses to remain competitive by reducing tax burdens, but only if strict compliance is maintained.
