The main benefit of conducting business activity within the Zone is the tax exemption granted in the form of CIT or PIT. Depending on the location of the project, the tax relief in the Pomeranian Region can be granted for a definite period of time- 12-15 years. In case of currently biding Special Economic Zone (SEZ) permits already issued to investors, the SEZ shall remain in force until 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The act of May 10<sup>th<\/sup> 2018\u00a0amends the instruments of CIT and PIT tax exemptions.

Quantitative criteria (minimum amount of eligible costs) depend on the unemployment rate in the county (poviat) in which the investment shall be carried out and the company size. Entrepreneurs representing business\u00a0 services sector and those who plan R&amp;D activities shall be granted preferential terms. Qualitative criteria include: creation of specialized jobs, the research and development component, cooperation with academic and research centers and with industry schools, low negative impact on environment.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum value of state aid depends on the company size.
