E-Zone

If your business is directed to the global market, the e-zone might be the best solution for you. E-Commerce Park is the preferred collocation facility in the Netherlands Antilles and appointed as E-Zone by the Government of Curacao. This allows companies to take advantage of the E-Zone tax incentives. A company that establishes its business in the E-Commerce Park complex will be awarded vital tax incentives under legislation implemented that provides for the establishment of the tax-privileged E-Zone area.

The profit of the E-Zone companies will be taxed at 2% (surtax included) until January 1, 2026. There are no import duties or turnover tax due for goods entering the E-Zone or for services that are rendered within the E-Zone or outside the Netherlands Antilles. For employees who lived for more than 5 years outside the Netherlands Antilles before starting to work for an E-Zone company, providing e-commerce services, could, if certain conditions are met, qualify for the so-called expatriate status.
