Investor Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common questions from international investors evaluating Iran's market — answered concisely.

Can foreigners own 100% of a company in Iran?

Foreign ownership may reach 100% in many permitted activities. Check sector restrictions and the chosen vehicle separately; FIPPA licensing provides investment protections rather than replacing company-registration rules.

What is the corporate tax rate in Iran?

The general corporate income-tax framework includes a 25% headline rate, but the applicable year, entity, activity and eligibility conditions determine the actual liability. Verify any relief separately; income-tax relief does not automatically exempt VAT.

How long does it take to register a company in Iran?

Registration timing depends on the vehicle, document legalisation, authority review and activity. Incorporation, investment licensing, tax registration and banking are separate milestones.

Can profits be repatriated from Iran?

FIPPA provides transfer protections for qualifying licensed investments, subject to documentation, applicable approvals and tax obligations. Foreign-currency availability, sanctions review and bank acceptance remain separate constraints; no fixed settlement window or exchange rate is guaranteed.

Which sectors are most open to foreign investment in Iran?

Potential sectors include manufacturing, renewable energy, mining, healthcare, food processing, tourism, technology and logistics. Eligibility depends on the activity, counterparties and applicable permissions.

What are Iran's free zones?

Kish, Qeshm, Chabahar, Aras, Anzali, Arvand and Maku are among Iran’s free trade-industrial zones. Check current designations, boundaries and activity permissions. Tax relief, customs, visas and transfers have separate conditions.
