KPM consultant insight
CT affects pricing and dividends — free zone 0% is not automatic. We model QFZP, SBR, and mainland trading together so you do not over-reserve tax.
FTA explains the law — KPM helps you apply it to your business setup, banking, and cash flow.
Official source basis
Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae) public guidance. KPM Global simplified this for business owners — not a substitute for official FTA advice or EmaraTax records.
