Wired telecommunications activities

Wired telecommunications activities are explicitly categorized as Excluded Activities under the Free Zone regime to prevent tax base erosion of the regulated domestic market. Revenue from these activities is subject to the 9% corporate tax rate regardless of the entity's Free Zone status, as it competes with mainland operators subject to federal royalties.

Audit Red Flag

Attempting to recharacterize telecommunications revenue as 'Data Hosting' or 'Cloud Services' to exploit Qualifying Income categories.
