Last Chance: How to Get Tax Benefits in the Stupino Quadrat SEZ

05 February 2026
Before the Rules Tighten on April 1?
The government is changing the rules for residents of special economic zones.
Starting from  April 1, 2026, a new law comes into force that tightens the conditions for granting tax benefits to SEZ residents.
The time remaining until April 1, 2026 is a unique «window of opportunity” for those who manage to obtain resident status in time.
What is changing
The new law introduces the “benefits for result” principle.
For residents who receive their status after April 1, 2026, maintaining benefits will be strictly tied to fulfilling their investment obligations.
The main control tool — “TVmax” — will determine the maximum amount of benefits a company can receive.
Each year, it will be compared with the company’s actual capital investments and R&D expenditures.
Benefits will remain in effect only if real investments equal or exceed the amount of tax preferences granted.
Otherwise, the resident loses the benefits for the current year.
Three-year vacation period: during the first three years, new residents may use benefits without being assessed under the “TVmax” formula. Starting from the fourth year, the rule becomes mandatory for everyone.
Why it is important to act before April 1, 2026
Companies that obtain resident status before April 1, 2026 will retain the previous, more flexible terms — that’s the key difference.
The “golden period” for registration is right now.
You have just more than a month to apply for resident status in the Stupino Quadrat SEZ and fix favorable conditions without the need for annual efficiency checks through a complex calculation.
What investors should do now
Time is working against you. To obtain SEZ resident status under the old rules, contact the experts of the Stupino Quadrat managing company for consultation.
This is your last chance to secure stable and advantageous conditions for your business for years to come.
After April 1, getting benefits will become more complex and will require continuous proof of your investments.
Don’t miss the opportunity. Act now, while the rules still allow it.
