Domestic and foreign-invested enterprises operating in the EZ will be offered a corporate income tax rate of 10 per cent for 15 years from the beginning of operation.
 
These businesses will also be exempted from tax contribution for the first four years and enjoy a reduction of 50 per cent of payable tax for nine consecutive years.
 
The government of Vietnam will prioritize high-tech projects with 10 per cent corporate income tax rate during their whole life-span.
