Thai Binh Economic Zone currently offers various incentives to lure investments. They include low corporate income tax (CIT) of 10% for 15 years starting from the first year of revenue generation, tax exemption for four years starting from the first year of taxable income generation, and then 50% reduction for nine years. Besides, laborers enjoy a 50% reduction in personal income tax (PIT).

Thai Binh attracted 112 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total registered capital of $1.66 billion as of the end of 2022, according to the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
