The first
Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Poland was set up in the city of
Mielec in 1995. Since then the country has opened 13 more such dedicated investment areas. The
EURO-PARK MIELEC was created on a large area and spreads over several locations.
The city of Mielec is located in southeast Poland and it is the capital of Mielec County. The area bases its economy on the homonymous aviation factory. The existence of the SEZ has had a very positive impact on the local economy.
Benefits in the Mielec SEZ
The
Mielec SEZ, like other Special Economic Zones in Poland, has an exemption from the
corporate income tax. This applies to the business activities carried out within the zone’s perimeters. Income tax exemptions can also be offered for those Polish companies that offer new jobs. The maximum aid for the Mielec Zone is 40% and small companies can benefit from a 20% aid increase in some respects.
Entrepreneurs who open a company in the EURO-PARK MIELEC SEZ in Poland can also benefit from a real property tax exemption.
Investors who
register a company in Poland need to take into account the usual tax rates for companies and the requirements for accounting and reporting.
