- Brief activity description or business plan
- An experience profile evidencing relevant experience

What next November costs
With entry licensing from AED 6,800, expect renewal at 85–100% of the government lines, plus establishment card, any visas falling due, insurance and — for audited structures — the accountant's calendar.

The tax position, plainly
As a free zone entity, a Shams 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 — as every Shams: Documents & Requirements Explained (2026) file demonstrates. Where Shams: Documents & Requirements Explained (2026) is concerned, registration with the FTA is mandatory regardless of profit level, and the late-registration penalty is a flat AED 10,000.
Where Shams: Documents & Requirements Explained (2026) is concerned, ask for the QFZP evidence checklist if you intend to defend the 0% — assumption is not a filing position.
