The ZRU system
Subject to certain conditions, companies operating in ZRU’s can benefit from social security and tax exemptions. These exemptions are designed to encourage companies to increase their economic activity and take on new employees.
Companies can apply for these exemptions if they are located in ZRU districts which are not classified as Urban Free Zones (ZFU). If a company is located in a ZRU district classified as a ZFU, it can access other, more advantageous exemptions.
