This law project also concerns blockchain companiestaking into account that among all the eligible sectors detailed in article 6, natural or legal persons working in distributed ledger technologies are mentioned.
More broadly, this also concerns areas such as artificial intelligence, programming, data analysis, or various technological industries such as robotics and semiconductors, to cite just a few examples from this long list.
It was María Luisa Hayem, El Salvador’s Minister of Economy, who presented this law to the country’s parliamentarians:
“At the request of President Nayib Bukele, we are bringing an initiative that will foster innovation in the country’s technology sector. With the initiative of the Act for the Promotion of Technological Innovation and Manufacturing, we seek to generate more sources of skilled jobs in the country, because technology is the future. »

What are the key points of this bill?
Among the tax exemptions proposed by this bill, we can cite income taxes, local taxes, those on capital gains as well as import taxes.
These exemptions will be valid for a period of 15 years from the day on which the Ministry of the Economy has validated the eligibility of the company in question. Only the fields of activity mentioned in article 6 are eligible for these provisions, consequently, if a company has several sectors of activity, these facilities will only apply to the fields concerned.
The clearly stated objective is to make El Salvador a stronghold in the technological fieldin order to gain worldwide recognition and promote job creation.
Whether through this initiative, or through his assumed interest in Bitcoin (BTC), President Bukele is making resolutely forward-looking choices. If these bets are successful, this could give El Salvador a place of choice on the international economic scene in the years to come.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
