In today's world, business operations are continuously evolving. Those who are ready to adapt and embrace change have the greatest potential for success. In this modern era, individuals with a clear vision thrive. We envision Serbia as a country of boundless opportunities for all its citizens. Together, we not only work to create these opportunities but also ensure that we are equipped to fully capitalise on them.
Free zones are designated areas within the Republic of Serbia, fenced and equipped with infrastructure, offering special benefits and incentives provided by the state. They serve as a key economic policy instrument aimed at driving economic growth through increased investment, export expansion, job creation and the transfer of cutting-edge technologies.
Owing to institutional support, Serbia now has 15 free zones evenly distributed from the north to the south and from the east to the west: FZ Subotica, FZ Pirot, FZ Zrenjanin, FZ Novi Sad, FAS FZ Kragujevac, FZ Šabac, FZ Užice, FZ Svilajnac, FZ Smederevo, FZ Kruševac, FZ Apatin, FZ Vranje, FZ Priboj, FZ Beograd and FZ Šumadija.
Companies operating within free zones enjoy a range of fiscal, customs and administrative advantages.
Fiscal benefits include VAT exemption on goods entering the zone for its users, on import-related services, on transport of goods and services within the free zone and between users of different zones, and for production users on energy consumption.
Customs benefits available to users include exemption from customs taxes and other import levies for goods to be used for conducting activities within the zone as well as the construction of facilities in the free zone (intermediate goods, equipment, construction materials). The free zones are locations with special customs offices applying facilitated customs procedures.
The efficient administration in the free zone (one-stop shop) enables the users of free zones to access multiple additional services offered by free zone management companies, such as transport logistics, reloading, loading, shipping services, agency services, insurance and reinsurance, banking operations and more.
