Manufacture of furniture

Manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity under the Free Zone regime. Forensic audit will focus on whether 'Substantial Transformation' occurs within the zone. If the entity merely assembles imported kits (CKD) without significant value-add, the FTA may reclassify the activity as 'Trading', which has different nexus and DZ requirements.

Audit Red Flag

Intermingling of 'Manufacturing' income with 'Retail/Showroom' income from non-business persons (B2C) which is excluded from the 0% regime.
