What is qualifying income?

Last updated: Oct 24, 2026, 15:06 (UTC+08:00)

Mainly income from qualifying activities with other free zone persons, and some listed activities with any customer, such as certain trading and holding activities. Income from sales to mainland UAE customers is often non-qualifying. Your specialist maps your revenue against the rules before you commit.
