What is the Canary Islands Special Zone?
The Canary Islands Special Zone is a low tax zone created within the framework of the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF) for the purpose of promoting the economic and social development of the Islands and diversifying their production structure.
The Canary Islands Special Zone was authorised by the European Commission in January 2000 and extended in December 2006. The Spanish Government subsequently adapted the regulations concerning the ZEC contained in the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime, in accordance with the terms of the corresponding authorisations (Title V of Law 19/1994, as amended by Royal Decree-Law 12/2006 and implemented by Royal Decree-Law 1758/2007 1758/2007).
The benefits provided by the Canary Islands Special Zone will initially remain in force until 31 December 2019, and this time frame may be extended on the authorisation of the European Commission. The final date for authorisation to register in the Official ZEC Register (ROEZEC) will initially be 31 December 2013.
Where can ZEC Entities be set up?
The ZEC covers the whole territory of the Canary Islands, with the following specifications:
Entities whose corporate purpose is the undertaking of service activities may set up anywhere within the territory of the Canary Islands.
Entities whose corporate purpose is the production, transformation, handling or commercialisation of goods may only set up within certain areas designated for these purposes.

ZEC regulations include application of the following exemptions to income obtained by residents in non-EU states when the income is paid by a ZEC Entity and results from operations materially and effectively carried out within the geographical area of the ZEC.
Individuals: Interest and other returns obtained by the assignment of own capital to a third party, as well as capital gains on movable assets, obtained without the intermediation of a permanent establishment.Corporate Entities: profits paid to parent companies by its subsidiaries domiciled in Spain.

IGIC is the Canary Islands indirect tax levied on final consumption, in substitution of the European Union Value Added Tax (VAT). It is similar in nature to VAT, although there are major differences such as the lower tax rates. The general IGIC rate is 5%.
Within the regime of the ZEC, the provision of goods and services among ZEC Entities is exempt from IGIC, as is the importing of goods by ZEC Entities.

· A minimum of 5 or 3 jobs must be created, depending on whether the location is one of the capital islands or an outlying island, in the first 6 months following registration, and this average must be maintained during the time the entity remains within the ZEC.
· The corporate purpose must consist of undertaking, within the area of the ZEC, one of the authorised activities.
