Forensic Analysis

DZ requiredSubstance: LIGHTAI-derived

ISIC 981 pertains to non-market production for subsistence or personal consumption. Under the UAE Corporate Tax framework, a 'Business' or 'Business Activity' requires the intent to generate profit through market transactions. Activities for 'own use' fail the 'Business' test under Article 1 of Decree-Law No. 47. From a forensic perspective, any entity registered under this code claiming business deductions will be flagged for 'Private Benefit' transactions and lack of arm's length commerciality.
