Event Details

• Date: Wednesday 1 April 2026

• Time: 14:00 - 16:00

• Venue: ISBI Technical Operations Meeting Room

• Attendance: Open to representatives of companies operating in the zone

Scope of the Meeting

For companies operating in free zones, tax and legislative matters are an inseparable part of operational planning. At the information meeting, experts will cover topics such as the general framework of the exemption rules applying to free zone earnings, the timetable followed in declaration and certification processes, record-keeping and documentation, the tax implications of customs and logistics processes, and the updates made to the legislation during the year. Participants will have the opportunity to put questions about their own operations directly to the consultants.

Who Should Attend?

The programme has been prepared with finance and accounting departments, foreign trade and operations teams, company shareholders and management in mind. Companies that have recently started operating in the free zone will benefit from attending, as will companies that have been in the zone for a long time and wish to review their processes. In the question-and-answer session after the presentations, company-specific scenarios can be discussed.

Why Is It Important?

Identifying legislative risks early significantly reduces compliance costs that emerge later. Access to accurate information at first hand is critical, particularly for companies that work mainly in exports, have overseas subsidiaries or are at the stage of taking a new investment decision. The event also provides a good setting for companies in the zone to meet one another, share experience and explore opportunities for cooperation.
