Since 1997, PARR S.A. has managed the Słupsk Special Economic Zone.

There are 14 special economic zones in Poland, which operate within designated areas of the country. A zone is a tool that provides beneficial opportunities and possibilities for dynamic development of business and the region. Under the existing regulations on special economic zones, entrepreneurs have completed nearly 160 investment projects in the Słupsk SEZ with a value of over PLN 2.2 billion and with employment of 6000 people.

Currently, companies implementing new investment projects can apply for income tax exemptions under the Polish Investment Zone programme for a period from 10 to 15 years. Under the Act of 10 May 2018 on the promotion of new investments (Journal of Laws item 1162 of 2018) tax incentives are available throughout Poland, in every municipality, in areas where business can be conducted. Moreover, on the municipal level, entrepreneurs can receive real property tax reliefs.

The area of operation of the Słupsk SEZ, according to the Regulation of the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology of 29.08.2018,  Journal of Laws item 1698  is 16 poviats (districts) of Central Pomerania in the following voivodeships: Pomorskie (5 country poviats and 1 township poviat), Zachodniopomorskie (8 country poviats and 1 township poviat) and Wielkopolskie (1 country poviat).

As part of the Polish Investment Zone programme and in accordance with the slogan “All of Poland is one special economic zone”, companies can obtain tax reliefs everywhere where they can do business, also on their own plot of land. The tax relief is granted for a period from 10 to 12 years.

There are also 18 SSEZ subzones with a total area of 910 hectares, located within the area of the cities: Słupsk, Ustka, Koszalin, Szczecinek, Lębork, Darłowo and Wałcz, and within municipalities: Słupsk, Debrzno, Polanów, Karlino, Tychowo, Czarne, Kalisz Pomorski and Biesiekierz. Investors still have about 520 ha at their disposal (current offer here)
While implementing a new investment project within the aforementioned subzones, entrepreneurs may receive tax reliefs for the longest possible period, i.e. 15 years.

Support is granted for new investments in the industrial sector or modern business services sector. Entrepreneurs may apply (after meeting the relevant criteria) for a decision on granting support, which entitles them to benefit from PIT or CIT exemptions, calculated on the income obtained from the activities specified in that decision. The amount of the exemption is calculated individually for each entrepreneur as a product of the degree of public aid and the costs of the new investment project or two years’ worth of labour costs of newly employed workers.
