Foreign Trade Zones

Canada's Tax and Duty Advantages: Enjoy the Benefits of Foreign Trade Zones... Anywhere in Canada!

Is your company involved in international commerce? Are you considering a new investment in Canada?

Canada not only has a business-friendly tax regime, but also has goods and services tax (GST) and customs duties advantages. For example, Budget 2009 eliminated the tariff on a wide range of machinery and equipment. Canada also offers three of the most export-friendly programs in the world. They are:

• the Duty Deferral Program;
• the Export Distribution Centre Program;
• the Exporters of Processing Services Program.

In combination with provincial and municipal incentives, Canada can offer the benefits found in foreign trade zones around the world — but with a key difference...

Canada's duty and tax relief can be used anywhere in Canada. You can now enjoy the benefits of foreign trade zones exactly where you need them. You can apply each or all of these programs to suit your business needs.
