Incentives and common questions

What to confirm with the authority, and the questions this portal can answer.

Local investors

A separate list, on purpose

Incentives for local investors are published beside the foreign list, not inside it. A local company still confirms the offer with TIC, or with EPZA if the site is in a licensed zone. ZIPA publishes the Zanzibar offer.

What to ask the authority

  1. 1 Who qualifies as local The ownership test the authority uses. Do not assume citizenship alone is enough.
  2. 2 Imports and tax Which duty or tax relief a local certificate actually carries.
  3. 3 Zanzibar Whether the project is on the mainland list, the Zanzibar list, or both.
