Not directly with mainland customers. Free zone companies typically sell to the mainland through a registered local distributor or agent, while trading freely internationally and within the zone.

Every free zone company must register for corporate tax. A Qualifying Free Zone Person may apply a 0% rate on qualifying income if it meets the substance and other conditions; otherwise the standard 9% applies on taxable profits above AED 375,000.
