IFZA Dubai 2026: costs, license types, and the 0% tax rule most guides skip
IFZA (International Free Zone Authority) is one of the fastest-growing UAE free zones, with company setup starting from AED 12,900. But the published license fee is only part of the real first-year cost — and whether your income actually qualifies for 0% corporate tax depends on five specific conditions under Article 18 of Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022.
Quick numbers:
- Zero-visa license: AED 12,900/year
- 1-visa package: ~AED 19,000 first-year total
- 2-visa package: ~AED 25,000 first-year total
The full guide covers:
- Every IFZA license type (Commercial, Professional, General Trading, Industrial, E-Commerce) and starting costs
- The complete first-year cost breakdown most setup guides leave out (visas, Emirates ID, medical tests)
- IFZA vs DMCC compared side by side
- The 5 QFZP conditions to keep the 0% corporate tax rate — and what happens if you fail one
- Step-by-step setup process, 3-7 working days for the license
