Important Note
1. APPLICATION FOR INCENTIVES
Overview
Once an investor has received the Certificate of Registration and confirmation of the
project being approved with tax incentives (Section 56 and/or Section 57), they are
eligible for customs duty exemptions on capital equipment and machinery, and
corporate tax incentives for projects operating in Manufacturing Sector in the MFEZ
and Rural Areas from first year of operation.
In order for the investor to fully receive the tax benefits, they will need to apply through
the Business Development Specialists, submitting an employment schedule. The BDS
will make the recommendation to the Ministry of Finance. The Minister then approves
the recommendation and the approval is sent to the Zambia Revenue Authority for
configuration into the system.
Kindly note that it is only after the investor receives confirmation of approval from the
ZDA, can they commence with importation of approved items. Kindly note that the ZDA
will only recommend items that the BDO and BDS confirm as capital equipment and
machinery specific to your sector.
The figures paid above include the agent fees incurred by African Born Corporation
Investment Enterprise. It is hereby stated that an agreement should be singed before
