## Notes and history

- **History (2017):** RAKEZ states in its November 2024 Investment Guide that it was established in 2017 and consolidated two of Ras Al Khaimah's existing free zones. [source](https://rakez.com/Upload/ManageDocument/RAKEZ---RAKEZ-Investment-Guide---Brochure_20241119154459.pdf)
- **Names:** Listings for "RAKIA Free Zone" refer to the former Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA), set up by Emiri Decree No. 2 of 2005, which in 2013 described itself as managing the free zones and industrial zones in the Al Hamra and Al Ghail areas. These areas are operated today as RAKEZ zones (Al Hamra and Al Ghail industrial zones), and no licence is issued under the RAKIA name. [source](https://rakez.com/en/about-us/zones)
- **Legal basis (2023):** RAKEZ's current rules for free zone companies are its Companies Regulations of 2023 and Operating Rules of 2023, listed on its Rules and Regulations page. Some answers in the zone's FAQ still refer to the earlier Companies Regulations of 2017 and Operating Rules of 2018. [source](https://rakez.com/en/about/rules-regulations) [source](https://rakez.com/en/faqs)
- **Good to know:** Besides free zone companies, RAKEZ also licenses non-free zone entities such as limited liability companies. According to the zone's FAQ, those entities are governed by the federal Commercial Companies Law rather than the RAKEZ Companies Regulations. [source](https://rakez.com/en/faqs)
- **History (2022-01):** In January 2022 RAKEZ introduced a Dual Licence, which pairs a RAKEZ free zone licence with a mainland branch licence from the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development, so companies can operate in both jurisdictions from the same free zone office. [source](https://www.rakmediaoffice.ae/en/media-center/press-releases/rakez-clients-to-operate-in-ras-al-khaimah-mainland-using-the-same-free-zone-office-through-a-branch-licence-by-rak-ded/)
- **History (2022-02-22):** RAKEZ's Compass Coworking Centre, near Al Hamra Village and the 311 highway, was announced as a new RAKEZ facility by the Ras Al Khaimah Government Media Office on 22 February 2022. [source](https://www.rakmediaoffice.ae/en/media-center/press-releases/ras-al-khaimahs-compass-coworking-centre-offers-a-unique-working-environment/)
- **History (2019-07-04):** On 4 July 2019 the Al Hamra, Al Ghail and Al Hulaila industrial zones were added to the FTA's list of Designated Zones; RAKEZ's business zones, academic zone and coworking centre do not appear on that list. [source](https://tax.gov.ae/DataFolder/Files/Legislation/Designated%20Zones%20-%2021%2009%202021%20sep21.pdf)
