UAE Free Zones are special economic zones where goods and services are traded at a very low or “preferential” tax and customs rate. The ‘Free Zone’ was set up to boost international business and offer benefits such as 100% foreign ownership. Every free zone in the UAE has a governing authority or free zone authority.
