These zones are recognized by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and are subject to specific VAT and Corporate Tax regulations that differ from those applied to mainland entities. Companies established in designated free zones often enjoy 0% VAT on qualifying transactions, simplified import-export procedures, and corporate tax exemptions when meeting prescribed conditions.
