An Export Processing Zone (EPZ) in Pakistan is a specially designated industrial area where businesses operate under a unique regulatory and tax framework.
Both foreign and local investors can set up businesses in Pakistan's EPZs. Foreign investors enjoy full ownership rights, tax exemptions, and repatriation of capital and profits. Any export-oriented manufacturing or processing business is generally eligible, subject to EPZA approval.
Pakistan's EPZs are particularly well-suited for textile and garment manufacturing, electronics assembly, food processing, leather goods, pharmaceutical manufacturing, light engineering, and other export-oriented industries.
A typical EPZ application in Pakistan requires an investment proposal, financial statements or proof of funding, business registration documents, a production and export plan, technical specifications of the proposed facility, and personal or corporate identification documents.
Yes, foreign investors can own 100% of a business established within Pakistan's Export Processing Zones. This is one of the key advantages of EPZ investment compared to standard business registration in Pakistan, which may have foreign ownership restrictions in certain sectors.
