Accounting and Corporate Tax support for UAE Free Zone entities
Defined-scope support for records, Corporate Tax obligations and Qualifying Free Zone Person condition assessments without assuming automatic eligibility for the 0% rate.
Eligibility is conditional
Start with the entity’s facts, not the licence label
A UAE Free Zone licence does not automatically provide a 0% Corporate Tax outcome. Valusage can assess the entity's facts against current Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions, qualifying-income rules, substance and documentation requirements, while the final filing position remains fact-specific.
No tax rate, QFZP status or authority outcome is promised. The assessment is documented against the current rules and information supplied.

Questions clients ask
Does every UAE Free Zone company receive a 0% Corporate Tax rate?+
No. The 0% rate applies only to qualifying income of a Qualifying Free Zone Person that meets the applicable conditions. A Free Zone licence alone is not sufficient.
Can Valusage guarantee QFZP status?+
No. Valusage can assess the available facts and prepare an advisory position, but cannot guarantee a tax treatment or authority outcome.
