Special Economic Zones

There are five Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in Latvia – Riga Free Port, Ventspils Free Port, Liepaja Special Economic Zone and Rezekne Special Economic Zone and Latgale Special Economic Zone that were established to promote entrepreneurial activities within the regions. All of them offer very favourable business incentives. Some of benefits for companies operating in Free Ports and SEZ include rebate on real estate tax, corporate income tax, withholding tax for dividends, management fees and payments for usage of intellectual property for non-residents and others. 

SEZs offer tax Incentives in the form of:

  • 80% rebate on the applicable Corporate Income Tax, which can make the tax rate as low as 4%
  • 80% rebate on the applicable Property Tax which can make the tax rate as low as 0.3%

The SEZs are expected to be in place until 2035.
