A country with low business tax burden and a growing Southeast Asian market. Well-developed finance and banking services (easier to open accounts), numerous preferential economic zones (IT parks, industrial SEZs) with zero VAT on exports and duty-free equipment imports. Large English-speaking workforce and low labor costs make the Philippines attractive for outsourcing and digital business. Restrictions: foreigners cannot own land, maximum share in several sectors (media, transport, education, etc.) is limited; base corporate tax rate around 25%.
