Abstract
A special tax zone (STZ) is a preferential tax regime that is ring-fenced. A preferential tax regime is ring-fenced when the sponsoring country effectively protects its domestic economy from the harmful effects of its own tax breaks. The protection of the domestic economy is generally achieved either by excluding the resident taxpayers from taking advantage of the tax benefits or by prohibiting the beneficiaries from operating in the domestic market
