Q227: Consider the following statements regarding the establishment of Global In-House Centres within the international financial services centre:
Statement 1: A Global In-House Centre is established primarily to provide specialized technical, operational, and financial support services exclusively to its own global offshore corporate affiliates rather than to external third-party clients.

✅ Correct Answer: C
The framework for Global In-House Centres was aggressively developed to attract the massive back-office and middle-office operations of global multinational corporations.
Statement 1 is correct.
By strict definition under the regulatory framework, a Global In-House Centre provides high-value support services, such as accounting, data processing, and complex financial modeling, strictly to its own parent company or its global affiliates.
It does not sell these services to external, independent third parties.
Statement 2 is also correct.
To strategically incentivize multinational corporations to physically locate these massive support centres in the smart city rather than in competing global jurisdictions, the government legally extended the exact same fiscal incentives, including the 100 percent income tax exemption for 10 consecutive years out of a 15-year block, to registered Global In-House Centres.
