FAVOURABLE TAXATION

TAXATION TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT

The San Marino tax regime is characterised by simple, fair, and efficient arrangements that drive investment, employment, innovation, and international competitiveness.

Ordinary Corporate Income Tax (IGR) is equal to 17% of taxable income. All new business activities benefit from an incentive treatment that reduces taxation on income to 8.5% in the first 5 years and exempts them from the payment of the annual license fee and the related renewal fees for the following three years of operation.

A special tax regime favour  highly innovative startups, with a progressive profit tax  from 0% and 8%.

ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES:

  • reduction of taxable income for capital goods or real estate investments;
  • fully-deductible costs, with few limitations;
  • Dividends paid to individuals and non-residents taxed at 5%
  • Royalties paid to non-residents taxed at 20%;
  • Withholding tax of 13% is levied on interests paid on loans granted to non-residents and individuals

Single-stage tax

San Marino does not have value added tax, but rather import tax, or “single-stage tax“. It applies to all goods and related services imported to San Marino. The indirect tax rate is equal to 17%. Certain categories of goods are subject to different rates.

The tax is refunded if goods are subsequently re-exported.
