DZ requiredSubstance: STANDARDAI-derived
ISIC 772 primarily involves transactions with natural persons for personal/household use. Under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, activities conducted with natural persons are categorized as Excluded Activities. Unless the income is derived from a Qualifying Activity (e.g., leasing of aircraft or ships, which fall under different ISIC codes), this activity is subject to the 9% rate if it exceeds the de minimis threshold or if the entity fails to meet the Qualifying Free Zone Person criteria.
