Tax incentives for new investment projects (Special Economic Zones)

Tax incentives for new investments

The income tax exemption for investments based on a decision to support (DtS) is one of the most effective tools to attract investors to Poland. The Polish Investment Zone (PSI) has been operating in its current formula since 2018, when it replaced the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) that had been in operation for more than two decades.
