E-commerce activity 4790.00
Meydan currently identifies E-Commerce (4790.00) as an activity under Website Development, Digital Sales and Marketing.
The activity can support online retail, website-based sales and marketplace commerce. Meydan also provides onboarding and support around online marketplaces, inventory, fulfilment and payment options.
Wio Business banking
Digital onboarding — but no guaranteed approval
Wio currently advertises fully digital business-account onboarding and says accounts can be operational in around 3 working days.
Current Wio onboarding requires company information, documents, proof of address and verification of identity and ownership. The bank then makes its own compliance decision.
Meydan's terms explicitly state that bank-account opening is governed solely by the partner financial institution and that Meydan does not guarantee the bank will open an account.
Meydan's wider e-commerce ecosystem
Marketplace support
Meydan supports onboarding for marketplaces such as Amazon, Noon, Instagram, Carrefour, Etsy and Walmart.
Meydan Commerce
Current Meydan Commerce offerings include store setup, product cataloguing, order capture, inventory tracking, fulfilment and digital sales support.
Payment partners
Meydan's current ecosystem includes payment and financial partners; applicants should verify the payment provider that is actually available for their business model.
Corporate Tax for a Meydan e-commerce company
Meydan Free Zone status does not automatically make every e-commerce revenue stream subject to 0% Corporate Tax.
Under the federal Corporate Tax framework, a Qualifying Free Zone Person can benefit from a 0% rate on Qualifying Income. Taxable income that does not qualify can be subject to 9%.
The classification of e-commerce, trading, services and related income must therefore be reviewed against the current federal rules rather than assuming “free zone = zero tax.”
Mainland sales and e-commerce scope
A Meydan free-zone company can conduct its licensed business and sell online, but the licence should not be treated as a blanket authorisation for every mainland-regulated activity.
Product type, import requirements, consumer protection, advertising, payment services, storage/fulfilment and other regulated activities can trigger additional requirements. The specific licence activities and the operating model should therefore be aligned before launch.
