His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah has issued an Emiri decree establishing a Communication Technologies Free Zone in Kalba.
The Sharjah Communication Technologies Free Zone (Comtech) will be managed by the Sharjah Communication Technologies Authority (SCTA).
The decree exempts companies, institutions, individuals, and employees in the free zone from emirate taxes on their business activities within the zone for 50 years, which is renewable. Additionally, the free zone is exempt from all local taxes and fees, except consumption duties.
The SCTA was established earlier this month to strengthen Sharjah’s position as a global hub for the telecommunications sector, future technology, communication technologies, and all types of data centers.
