Forensic Analysis

DZ requiredSubstance: HIGHAI-derived

ISIC 3091 falls under the 'Manufacturing of goods or materials' qualifying activity. Forensic auditors will verify the 'Adequate Substance' by auditing the ratio of factory floor space, specialized machinery depreciation, and technical headcount against the volume of output. If the entity sells to mainland UAE, the 'De Minimis' threshold (5% of total revenue or AED 5 million) must be strictly monitored to prevent the entire Free Zone Person from losing its Qualifying status.
