Manufacture of electric lighting equipment

Manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity under the Free Zone regime. Forensic auditors will verify the 'Transformation' threshold—ensuring raw materials or components undergo a significant change in form, fit, or function. If the activity is deemed 'Minor Assembly', it may be re-categorized as 'Distribution', which requires a Designated Zone (DZ) nexus for 0% tax eligibility on certain income streams.

Audit Red Flag

Misclassification of 'Simple Assembly' or 'Packaging' as 'Manufacturing' to bypass Designated Zone requirements for trading activities.
