In the world of commercial property, location is only part of the equation. Today's shrewd investors look for economic ecosystems—places where infrastructure, accessibility, and government incentives converge to guarantee superior returns. This is precisely why global players like MTN, CCECC, and Madison Capital have chosen Roma Commercial Park. Their decision is rooted in one powerful strategic advantage: the park’s Multi-Facility Economic Zone (MFEZ) status.
The MFEZ: More Than Just a Tax Break
The Multi-Facility Economic Zone is a government program designed to attract significant domestic and foreign direct investment (FDI) by creating an ideal environment for business. Roma Park is unique in offering this status, transforming a standard land purchase into a strategic financial move.
The MFEZ designation at Roma Park provides a suite of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives that directly impact your company’s bottom line, unlike property investments in standard commercial zones.
Unlocking Unparalleled Fiscal Incentives
The most compelling reason to choose an MFEZ is the reduction of significant cost barriers. For approved operators in priority sectors (including Manufacturing, Export, and Commercial activities), the benefits are immediate and long-term:
1. The 10-Year Export Tax Holiday
For enterprises focused on regional or international trade, the MFEZ status offers an unparalleled competitive edge:
- 0% Tax on Profits Made on Exports: Approved MFEZ companies enjoy a full tax holiday on profits made from exports for 10 consecutive years.
- 0% Tax on Dividends from Exports: This 0% tax rate also applies to dividends declared on those export profits for 10 years.
This incentive drastically improves initial cash flow and capital recovery, allowing businesses to reinvest earlier and scale faster.
2. Capital Investment Relief
High-growth industrial and manufacturing enterprises require substantial investment in machinery. The MFEZ directly addresses this cost:
- 0% Import Duty on Capital Equipment: Approved MFEZ operators benefit from a zero percent import duty rate on capital equipment and machinery for five years.
This exemption significantly lowers the initial capital outlay required to set up or expand manufacturing and processing plants within the park.
Choose Your Plot Size
Roma Park eliminates the perception that MFEZ benefits are reserved solely for massive conglomerates. We accommodate diverse needs, offering fully serviced commercial plots ranging from a concise 1,017 sqm (0.1 ha) up to 27,000 sqm (2.7 ha). Securing a smaller plot for a corporate headquarters, for instance, still positions your company to apply for and leverage these powerful incentives.
Whether your strategic need is for manufacturing, logistics, or high-value commerce, choosing Roma Park means investing in an environment where operational efficiency is guaranteed:
- Prime Location: Strategically situated between the Lusaka CBD and the International Airport, providing critical accessibility for staff and cargo.
- World-Class Infrastructure: Access to secure, fully serviced utilities, constructed road networks, and high-speed fibre connectivity.
By investing in an MFEZ, you are not simply buying real estate; you are securing a competitive legal and economic framework designed to insulate your profits and accelerate your success in Zambia's growing economy.
