The advantages of the free zone
La Tangiers free zone offers a series of unrivalled advantages to companies that choose to locate here. These advantages, both fiscal and administrative, make the area a magnet for national and international investors.
Tax benefits
One of the main attractions of the free zone is the tax benefits available to companies. They benefit from total exemption from corporation tax (IS) for the first five years of operation. From the sixth year onwards, a reduced rate of 20 % applies, offering a competitive tax rate by international standards.
Dividends paid to non-residents are fully tax-exempt. For residents, a withholding tax of 10 % is applicable. In addition, companies are exempt from business tax for 15 years, a measure that considerably reduces their fixed costs.
Customs and trade benefits
Companies located in the free zone benefit from total exemption from customs duties on imports of materials, equipment and raw materials required for their activities. This absence of customs barriers makes import-export operations much easier.
In addition, the TFZ offers complete freedom in terms of foreign exchange, allowing companies to transfer currency freely without restrictions. Foreign currency bank accounts, available from offshore banks, further simplify financial management for companies.
Administrative facilities
The free zone offers a one-stop shop for all administrative procedures, reducing the time and complexity of formalities. Businesses can count on personalised support in setting up their company, obtaining the necessary authorisations and complying with local regulations.
Infrastructure benefits
The proximity of the port of Tanger Med, one of the largest in Africa, is a major logistical advantage. The port offers fast sea links to over 180 destinations worldwide, providing easy access to European, African and Asian markets.
The area's infrastructure also includes modern industrial space, offices and service centres tailored to the needs of businesses. Competitive rental costs and the availability of skilled labour make the area even more attractive.
Financial benefits
Finally, Morocco offers financial assistance for investment, in the form of subsidies or additional exemptions for certain strategic projects. These incentives are designed to encourage companies to develop high value-added activities in the free zone.
In short, the Tangier Free Zone combines unique tax, customs and administrative advantages with world-class infrastructure. It is a strategic choice for companies looking to optimise their costs while benefiting from privileged access to global markets.
