As the country’s only freeport that allows investors to own real property, FAB offers the best incentives to investors, including an income tax holiday (ITH) from four to eight years; 5-percent tax in lieu of local and national taxes after the ITH period; duty-free importation of capital equipment, raw materials, consumer goods and personal items; domestic sales allowance of up to 30 percent of total sales; exemption from wharf age dues, export taxes, impost and fees; plus a special investor’s visa.
