Fujairah Creative City Free Zone
Fujairah Creative City Free Zone (FCC) is a media, consulting, and digital-business free zone on the UAE's East Coast. It's built for companies in advertising, broadcasting, e-commerce, and creative services, not trading or manufacturing. Those licences sit with the neighbouring Fujairah Free Zone Authority (FFZA).
Once your licence is issued, your FCC company must register for Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). You'll also need an e-invoicing-ready accounting system from day one. If you want the 0% Qualifying Free Zone Person rate, audited financial statements are mandatory. Get either one wrong, and you risk losing that rate for the whole tax period.
Fujairah Creative City Free Zone Includes Following Business Activities:
Services for audio and video
Advertising
Broadcasting
Event administration
