Incentive Programs

The new model of tax incentives of the Government of Goiás, the ProGoiás - Regional Development Program, aims to reduce bureaucracy in granting tax benefits to the industrial sector and to guarantee legal security and impersonality. Effective until 2032, the program that replaces Fomentar / Produzir offers a reduction in the percentage for the payment of the State Social Protection Fund (Protege). The initial rate will be 10%, gradually decreasing to 6%, starting from the 25th month of qualification in ProGoiás.

ProGoiás offers credit granted, without financing. The investments provided for in the program must be of an amount corresponding, at least, to the percentage of 15% of the amount of credit granted provided for in article 4 of Law 20.787 / 2020, estimated for the first 36 months of enjoying the benefit. Establishments that carry out industrial activities in the State, interested in making investments for the implantation, expansion and revitalization of an industrial establishment, may be beneficiaries. And, the current beneficiaries of the FOMENTAR, PRODUZIR, MICRO and PROGREDIR programs.

Produzir is the Program of the Government of the State of Goiás that encourages the implantation, expansion or revitalization of industries, stimulating the realization of investments, technological renewal and the increase of state competitiveness with emphasis on the generation of employment, income and reduction of regional and social inequalities. Microproduzir is a subprogram of Produzir or micro and small companies, in which the revenue does not exceed the limit set for inclusion in the Simples Nacional.

Produzir and the subprogram Microproduzir work in the form of financing a monthly installment of ICMS due by beneficiary companies, making the cost of production cheaper and their products more competitive in the market. The terms for enjoying the benefit depend on the subprogram chosen, according to Law 13,591 / 00 and Decree 5,265 / 00 and subsequent amendments.

With the advent of the ProGoiás program, companies that are part of Produzir can migrate to the new program.
