Which Freezones are Designated Zones in the UAE? Special VAT rules JAFZA DAFZA SAIF Zone HFZA KIZAD

We have discussed earlier the different options to have a licensed company, mainland, freezone, offshore. Now what is this designated Zone? How does it differ from the others? Here we will also get into the list of designated zones.
Designated Zones are special areas where special VAT rules apply. The most important VAT application is that for certain transactions no VAT needs to be charged, mostly revolving trading of goods. These transactions will be out of scope of VAT.
A general way to look at it is that, all designated zones are free zones, but not all free zones are designated zones.
