Investment incentives

Tax incentives can be granted to new investors, subject to the application of a specific request with the ANDI. The tax incentives can be granted for the investment phase and for the exploitation phase. They can be granted for a period of three years or five years, depending on the kind and the size of the business.

Other incentives can be granted for start-up businesses under CIT, TPA, customs duties, and VAT to encourage youth investment.

There is also a temporary exemption from CIT for companies that invest in certain strategic sectors, such as advanced technologies, the food industry, mechanics, and the automotive sector.

There is a five-year reduction of CIT for companies whose securities are introduced on the stock exchange.
