The law allows tax relief and preferences for residents by decision of the City Council. This creates an opportunity to consider the special regime in your long-term project planning.
Eligibility must be assessed for your project. Company registration alone does not grant relief. Application depends on status, activities, Council decisions and administration regulations.
