What’s inside the 60-page guide.

One team, one fixed price, one set of clean deliverables. No vendor sprawl, no Excel chains, no last-minute scrambles.

Registration & basics

Why everyone must register, FY rules, returns due in month 9, what's the rate (9% / 0% / exempt) — plain-English answers.

QFZP eligibility

How to know if your free-zone entity qualifies for 0%, what 'qualifying activities' means, the de minimis test — with worked examples.

Small business relief

AED 375K threshold, who qualifies, what record-keeping is required, when it makes sense to forego SBR for group reasons.

Transfer pricing & groups

Related-party rules, master file / local file thresholds, intercompany services pricing — the basics every group founder should know.

From download to CT clarity.

CT explained without jargon.

Founder-friendly, not lawyer-talk

We've written it in the language of operators — short paragraphs, concrete examples, no Latin. CT-novices can read it cover-to-cover in an afternoon.

QFZP scoring framework

Most guides handwave QFZP. Ours has a 12-point scorecard you can apply to your own entity in 20 minutes — surprisingly clarifying.

Worked group examples

3 worked examples (single FZ entity, 3-entity group, holding-co + ops), each end-to-end. So you can map yours.

“I read this guide in one weekend and finally understood whether our group should elect QFZP. Saved a expensive consultant call.”
