Site preparation

ISIC 4312 (Site preparation) is intrinsically linked to Immovable Property. Under the framework of Ministerial Decision No. 229 of 2025, income derived from services related to Immovable Property is generally excluded from the 0% Qualifying Income regime, particularly when the property is located outside a Free Zone or the transaction involves a non-Free Zone person. Forensic auditors will scrutinize the 'Source of Income' rules to ensure work performed on mainland sites is not being booked under a Free Zone entity's 0% tax claim.
