Ajman Corporate Tax: Common Questions
If revenue is below AED 3M now and has been since 1 June 2023, SBR is usually simpler and cheaper. Above AED 3M, QFZP becomes the only route to 0%.
Only if mainland (non qualifying) revenue stays within the de minimis cap. The moment it crosses, 100% of income is taxed at 9%.
For sub AED 3M revenue: SBR election plus correctly filed CT return. BCL Globiz prices this as a fixed fee annual engagement.
AMCFZ follows the same QFZP rules as any other free zone. The advantage is operational cost and licensing flexibility, not tax.
Yes. Registration is mandatory regardless of activity. A dormant entity files a return with zero taxable income. Non registration carries AED 10,000.
Typically 7 to 14 days from document submission, subject to FTA processing.
