FAQs

UAQ Free Zone — Answered.

How much does a UAQ Free Zone company cost in 2026?

YABS UAQ Free Zone packages start at AED 5,900 all‑in for 2026, covering UAQ FTZ trade license, flexi‑desk office, MoA preparation, 1 investor visa eligibility, corporate bank account introduction, and FTA corporate tax registration. Annual renewal fees are among the lowest in the UAE, making UAQ very attractive for multi‑year cost planning.

Is UAQ Free Zone suitable for trading and e‑commerce?

Yes. UAQ FTZ grants trade licenses covering general trading, e‑commerce, consulting, services, and light manufacturing. Multi‑activity licences are permitted, so you can bundle related business lines on a single license. UAQ is particularly popular with small trading and dropshipping businesses because of its low entry and renewal costs.

Can a UAQ Free Zone company invoice Dubai clients?

Yes. UAQ Free Zone companies can invoice clients anywhere in the UAE (B2B) and internationally, with the same UAE tax and legal standing as Dubai free zone companies. Direct sales to UAE end consumers (B2C) still require a mainland distributor or dual‑license, just like any other UAE free zone.

Can UAQ Free Zone companies qualify for 0% corporate tax?

Yes. UAQ Free Zone companies can claim Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status and 0% UAE corporate tax on qualifying income if they meet substance requirements, derive qualifying income per FTA Ministerial Decision 265, and prepare annual audited financial statements. YABS assesses QFZP eligibility as part of every UAQ setup.

Do I need to visit Umm Al Quwain to set up a UAQ company?

No. UAQ Free Zone company formation is fully remote. You e‑sign documents from your home country and only need to visit any UAE city (usually Dubai is closest) for a 3‑day visit to complete your investor visa biometrics and Emirates ID. You never need to physically visit Umm Al Quwain.
