Why AFZ in Ajman?

Like every UAE free zone, AFZ offers 100% foreign ownership, full repatriation of capital and profits, and 0% personal income tax. Qualifying free zone income can benefit from the 0% corporate tax rate under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, while non-qualifying income above AED 375,000 is taxed at 9% — GoldenKey's tax team structures this correctly from day one.
