Maximize Government Incentives and Tax Benefits for BPO Investors

The Philippine government actively encourages foreign investment in the outsourcing sector through a variety of fiscal incentives and strategic subsidies. Understanding how to access these benefits can significantly lower the barrier to entry and accelerate the return on investment for new and expanding business operations.

The Role of PEZA and BOI

The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Board of Investments (BOI) are the primary bodies responsible for administering incentives. Depending on the location and nature of your outsourcing business, you may qualify for significant advantages. We specialize in navigating the application processes for these agencies to ensure your business maximizes its legal financial benefits.

Key Fiscal Incentives for Outsourcing Firms

Companies operating within designated economic zones or those registered as strategic investments can access a range of benefits designed to foster growth:

• Income Tax Holidays (ITH): Periods of total exemption from corporate income tax for a set number of years.
• Duty-Free Importation: Exemption from customs duties on capital equipment, machinery, and raw materials needed for operation.
• VAT Exemptions: Zero-rated Value Added Tax on local purchases of goods and services.
• Special Visa Categories: Facilitated work permits and visas for foreign executives and technical experts.

Strategic Application and Compliance

Securing these incentives is not merely a matter of filing paperwork; it requires a strategic alignment of your business model with the government's economic goals. We assist in drafting the necessary business plans and feasibility studies required to prove the value your operation brings to the local economy, such as job creation and technology transfer.

Maintaining Incentive Status

Incentives are often contingent upon meeting specific performance milestones, such as employment quotas or minimum investment thresholds. Our consulting team provides ongoing monitoring and reporting support to ensure your company remains in good standing with regulatory bodies, preventing the loss of hard-won tax advantages.
