Corporate Tax
Strategy.
Understanding Federal Decree-Law No. 47 and the statutory requirements for maintaining 0% tax eligibility in the UAE.
01. The Statutory Requirement
Effective 2024, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requires all taxable persons to maintain detailed records and documentation for a minimum of seven years. Arakan automates this via local data residency.
The Penalty Risk
Failure to maintain records in an audit-ready manner can result in penalties starting from AED 10,000, escalating with repeat violations under Cabinet Decision No. 75.
02. Article 18 Compliance
For Free Zone entities, maintaining Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status is the difference between 0% and 9%. Article 18 mandates strict "Substance" proof.
Adequate Substance
Physical presence and core income-generating activities (CIGA) within the Free Zone.
Transfer Pricing
Ensuring related-party transactions meet the Arm’s Length Principle under Article 34.
