FZE stands for Free zone establishment, a company type abbreviation.
Company formed in a United Arab Emirates free zone with a single shareholder, which may be a person or a corporate entity. Free zone companies can typically be 100 percent foreign-owned and benefit from customs and tax incentives within the zone.
Example: The trading company set up an FZE in Jebel Ali Free Zone to serve customers across the Gulf.
Usage notes
Other free zone suffixes include FZCO and FZ-LLC, with naming rules set by each zone's authority. The UAE introduced a federal corporate tax in 2023, but qualifying free zone persons can still benefit from a 0 percent rate on qualifying income.
