Tax Zones

Tax zones offer incentives to businesses such as no stamp duty, full business rates relief for up to ten years and enhanced allowances for construction and machinery investment.

The benefits

Designed to attract long-term inward investment and allow firms to reduce their taxable profits, tax zones turbo-charge the region’s key sectors and supply chains, including offshore wind, clean energy, chemicals and process, and advanced manufacturing.

Examples of tax reliefs at the Teesside Freeport include Class 1 Employer NI contributions for up to three years per employee, major reductions in business rates and Enhanced Capital Allowances on qualifying new plant, machinery and property assets.
