What is a Green Freeport?
Green Freeports are places where businesses can be carried out inside a country’s land border, but where the normal tax and customs rules don’t apply in full. They have boudaries agreed with both the UK government and Scottish government.
They contain two types of sites where special rules apply, which can overlap. These are called “tax sites” and “customs sites”. Companies can choose to locate themselves so that they profit from the benefits offered by one of these site types, or a combination of both.
