Polish Investment Zone

an incentive for business investment projects

 

The Polish Investment Zone (PIZ) is a statutory support instrument for companies planning new investments.

 

As a part of it, entrepreneurs are given 14 to 15 years to complete the investment and take advantage of a tax relief, regardless of the size of the company they run. What is more, the investment can be located anywhere in Małopolska (not only within the existing special economic zones).

 

The PSI replaces the hitherto Act on Special Economic Zones, which will apply in parallel with the PIZ program until December 31, 2026. The Polish Investment Zone, on the other hand, operates indefinitely.

 

More information about Polish Investment Zone you can find here.
