Overview

Why HFZA in Sharjah?

Hamriyah Free Zone is industrial port zone on the Arabian Gulf, positioned in Sharjah with a licensing framework built around heavy industry, oil & gas services and steel & metals. HFZA's own deep-water harbour lets industrial tenants ship directly from their plots.

Like every UAE free zone, HFZA 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 HFZA'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.
