Nuestro gerente general, Bernard Gilchrist, concedió una entrevista para la edición 2013 de la prestigiosa revista internacional The Business Year. A continuación, relacionamos un aparte:
With tax exemptions and other attractive incentives, Colombia’s free trade zones (FTZs) play a crucial role in the growth of the overall economy.
The growth of FTZs in Colombia has been possible thanks to a change in the government’s policies, as they became strategic and an essential part of a nationwide project to attract more FDI and strengthen national investment. In this regard, the bureaucratic processes for the establishment of FTZs were shortened and made easier, while setting the perfect regulatory and tax framework for their establishment in the regions of Colombia. Therefore, today we have permanent and special FTZs in Colombia in between 15 and 20 regions, which contributes to the development of these regions. Some changes in Law 105 brought income tax benefits of up to 15% for enterprises establishing operations in FTZs, as well as special customs tariff regimes.
These areas are considered foreign production zones when it comes to customs tariffs for imports. Today, FTZs are large production areas with great logistics services. Zona Franca Parque Central has 116 hectares of FTZ planned, of which 64 have already been approved, while the remaining are part of our first expansion plan.
