What is Investment Zone Relief?
A package of tax reliefs similar to freeport reliefs, available to businesses in designated UK investment zones.
Full Definition
Investment Zone reliefs mirror the freeport tax relief package — enhanced capital allowances, Stamp Duty Land Tax relief, business rates relief and Employer National Insurance relief — but apply within designated Investment Zone tax sites, a separate government programme focused on growth clusters in specific research and innovation sectors rather than ports and logistics hubs. As with freeport sites, the reliefs are available only within the specific designated boundary and are time-limited.
