Fujairah Corporate Tax: Common Questions
Yes. Bunkering and downstream petroleum supply are federal CT at 9%, or 0% for QFZP qualifying activities. Only upstream extractive activity sits under emirate level oil taxation.
No. The qualifying commodity list is narrow (broadly metals, minerals, energy and agricultural products per Ministerial Decision 265). Items outside the list are taxed at 9%.
Logistics services are on the FTA list. The entity must show substance with staff, premises and operational decisions in the zone. Income must arise from logistics, not incidental trading mark ups.
Cross border related party transactions trigger TP obligations. Arm length pricing, disclosure form on every return, Local File above AED 40M aggregate.
Yes, if revenue is below AED 3M now and has been since 1 June 2023.
Late filing carries AED 500 per month for the first 12 months, then AED 1,000 per month. Plus interest on unpaid tax. The penalty accumulates monthly until filed.
