UAE Incorporation Comparison: IFZA vs MEYDAN Free Zones

Both IFZA and MEYDAN operate under the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, subjecting entities to a 9% Corporate Tax on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. These jurisdictions provide remote-friendly incorporation paths for non-resident founders without requiring local directors or physical presence.

While both entities function as Free Zone LLCs, the choice between them hinges on specific operational costs and the scope of permissible business activities defined in their respective licensing frameworks.
