Forensic Analysis
DZ requiredSubstance: STANDARDAI-derived
Retail activities are explicitly categorized as Excluded Activities under the UAE Corporate Tax framework for Free Zone Persons. ISIC 475 involves sales to end-consumers (natural persons), which disqualifies the income from the 0% regime. Even if the entity is located in a Designated Zone, the retail nature of the trade overrides the geographic benefit.
