The FTA just told you exactly how it will read your Corporate Tax return. 📋

A new consolidated summary of private clarifications reveals the Authority's actual thinking on free zone status, permanent establishment, and family structures, and the message is consistent: substance over form.

Key takeaways:
🏢 Free zone status is earned by real activity - assets, staff, and expenditure proportionate to the business, not just a licence
📍 A UAE trade licence alone doesn't create a taxable presence, but the reverse holds too: no licence doesn't mean no exposure
👨‍👩‍👧 Family holding companies don't automatically qualify as Family Foundations just by ownership structure

Your first Corporate Tax return (year ended 31 December 2025) is due 30 September 2026 - and this summary tells you in advance what the FTA will be checking. To read more click on the below link 👇
