Key Facts About Fujairah Free Zone
Why FFZ in Fujairah?
Fujairah Free Zone is east-coast port zone outside the Strait of Hormuz, positioned in Fujairah with a licensing framework built around trading & re-export, shipping & bunkering services and light manufacturing. Fujairah's port is one of the world's largest bunkering hubs — FFZ tenants sit beside it.
Like every UAE free zone, FFZ 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.
GoldenKey maps your real business model onto FFZ's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a license that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
