RAKEZ Tax & VAT Position
The tax & vat position picture at RAKEZ, specifically: Corporate Tax, QFZP and VAT as they apply here — with the numbers and sequence we use on live files.
The tax position, plainly
As a free zone entity, a RAKEZ company can hold the 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income as a QFZP — provided substance, audited accounts and de-minimis conditions hold; otherwise the standard 9% applies above AED 375,000 of profit. Registration with the FTA is mandatory regardless of profit level, and the late-registration penalty is a flat AED 10,000.

The economics around this choice
Specialisation in industrial, trading, services pays off operationally: the authority's reviewers know these activities, the neighbouring tenants are your ecosystem, and banks have an existing book of similar files.
Getting banked, properly
Before celebrating a licence from RAKEZ, look at the account that must follow it. Compliance teams underwrite three things: the credibility of your activity wording, the substance behind the address, and the story your expected flows tell. RAKEZ's licences clear onboarding routinely when those three are prepared in advance.
Our banking desk builds the file the way reviewers read it; that discipline — not luck — is what a 98% approval rate is made of.

The second invoice
With entry licensing from AED 6,010, renewal is re-quoted fresh each year — WhatsApp GoldenKey for the current written renewal figure. Add insurance renewals and the establishment card, and diarise sixty days early: authorities forgive nothing about lateness, and a frozen licence blocks every visa transaction the company needs.
Prepaying 2–3 years earns 10–20% discounts at several authorities — usually correct for stable holding structures.
