PEZA vs. BOI: Which Incentive is Right for Your Business?

If you're expanding or investing in the Philippines, you’ve likely come across the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Board of Investments (BOI). Both offer tax incentives and investment benefits, but which one is best for your business?

Who Should Register at PEZA?

PEZA is ideal for businesses that:

Export at least 70% of their products/services

Need import tax exemptions on raw materials, machinery, or tech equipment

✔ Want to operate inside a special economic zone (Ecozone)

📌 If your business focuses on international markets, PEZA offers better tax breaks.

Who Should Register at BOI?

BOI is ideal for businesses that:

✔ Serve the domestic market (not export-dependent)

✔ Need tax incentives but don’t want to operate in PEZA zones

✔ Want flexibility to set up anywhere in the Philippines

📌 If your business caters to local demand and benefits from government-backed investments, BOI is a strong choice.
