Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA) is one of the oldest and most established free zones in the UAE, built around Dubai International Airport for aviation, logistics, and trading businesses.
Setting up in DAFZA in 2026 starts from around AED 15,000 to AED 22,000 for a base commercial, service, or industrial licence, with a General Trading licence at AED 50,000/year. Registration typically takes 10 to 20 business days and can be completed remotely. DAFZA companies that meet the UAE Corporate Tax QFZP (Qualifying Free Zone Person) conditions pay 0% tax on qualifying income and 9% on non-qualifying income.
The full guide covers licence types, a complete 2026 cost breakdown, the step-by-step registration process, required documents, office/facility options, and how DAFZA entities are taxed under Article 18 of the UAE Corporate Tax law.
