Frequently asked questions
Is an investment incentive a grant?
No — it is not a cash grant, but a package of tools such as VAT exemption, tax reduction and premium support that lowers the cost of the investment.
How much incentive do we get for our region/sector?
This depends on the investment location's regional tier and the sector's priority status; we clarify this during the eligibility analysis.
