Angola’s investment law (2018) simplified entry: no compulsory local partner, lower minimum capital, and approvals handled by AIPEX. This page summarises the incentives, regimes and rules that foreign investors should know.

• Declaration regime — for smaller projects; simplified filing.
• Special/contractual regime — for large or strategic projects; negotiated terms.

• Tax benefits — reduced corporate tax in priority sectors/regions.
• Customs exemptions — equipment imports for approved projects.
• FX facilities — repatriation of profits/dividends allowed under compliance.
• Special Economic Zones — e.g. Luanda–Bengo SEZ offers stronger incentives.

• Repatriation of profits permitted with proper FX documentation.
• Anti-corruption and compliance enforcement is stricter — keep audits/documentation clear.
• AIPEX monitors project implementation; annual reporting may be required.

• Consult AIPEX before finalising an investment structure.
• Use chambers of commerce to build networks and identify reliable partners.
• Negotiate tailored contracts for large projects to secure predictability.
