| | Free trade zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A free trade zone (FTZ) or export processing zone is one or more areas of a country where tariffs and quotas are eliminated and bureaucratic requirements are lowered in order to attract companies by raising the incentives for doing business there. | | | They are special zones where (some) normal trade barriers such as import or export tariffs do not apply, bureaucracy is typically minimized by outsourcing it to the FTZ operator and corporations setting up in the zone may be given tax breaks as an additional incentive. | | | The creation of special free-trade zones is criticized as giving business which set up operations undue influence over already corrupt governments, and as giving foreign corporations more economic liberty than is given ordinary citizens, who face large and sometimes insurmountable "regulatory" hurdles in most third-world nations. |

| | The Free Zone Organisation, with one managing director on top of it, supervises and is responsible for all government activities in the FTZs, from issuing work permits to providing access to the sewerage system. | | | The second type of economy is in a limited number of free trade zones that offer immediate access to a liberal and market-oriented economic system and work as a gateway for foreign companies to come to Iran as well as for Iranian companies to go international. | | | Company taxes By setting up your registered Iranian office in one of the FTZs, you ensure that your company is exempted for a minimum period of 15 years from paying taxes. |

| | Jamaican women and Free Trade Zones - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM |
| | Although the FTZ have provided jobs for women, often, the jobs are laborious, poorly paid, and there are few opportunities to gain new skills. | | | Free Trade Zones (FTZs) emerged in the early 1980s as a way of increasing foreign exchange, export earnings, employment for low-income workers and access to technology. | | | Unfortunately, many of the women who worked in the FTZs lacked the collateral necessary to start one of these small businesses and did not have the qualification for the formal sector jobs available. |
