Is Every Trader in a Free Zone Eligible to Receive 0% Tax as a Distributor?

Is Every Trader in a Free Zone Eligible to Receive 0% Tax as a Distributor?

Traders, or individuals who purchase and resell goods, are subject to the UAE corporate tax law unless they satisfy certain exemption requirements based on elements such as revenue and legal structure. Jurisdictional taxable traders residing in non-free zones must pay tax on their worldwide income. The tax rate is 9% after Dh375,000 and 0% up to that amount.

If a natural person’s revenue in a Gregorian calendar year does not exceed Dh1 million, they are not subject to corporate tax while operating as traders in the United Arab Emirates. They are subject to the same tax rates as resident juridical taxable traders if their revenue surpasses Dh1 million.

The Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) tax rate applies to traders who have a qualifying income of zero percent and a non-qualifying income of nine percent. Sales of qualifying goods to non-free zone entities whose clients are not the permanent establishment (PE) of the QFZP are also considered qualifying income, as is income from transactions with other free zone persons when the receiving entity is the beneficial recipient of the goods. Any individual’s income from prohibited activities will be regarded as non-qualifying income.
