From the USA through the Netherlands to Asia several foreign movie production companies have enjoyed one of the greatest advantages of shooting in Hungary: the 30 percent tax rebate.
Film productions may be eligible for a tax rebate equivalent to 30% of the direct film production costs incurred in connection with the Hungarian shooting in or outside of Hungary, if at least 80% of the direct production costs are considered to be Hungarian direct film production costs. In the case of film productions not reaching this 80-20 ratio, the base of the indirect support is the sum of the Hungarian film production costs multiplied by 1.25. The availability of the tax rebate is conditional upon the registration of the Hungarian film production company and the film by the National Film Office („NFO”) before starting the production.
The direct Hungarian film productions costs (which form basis of the film tax rebate), include not only the value of the products and services purchased from Hungarian suppliers, but also a certain part of remuneration cost of those foreign cast and crew members who are liable to pay tax in Hungary. The settlement of taxes must be justified in a creditable manner. As 50% of the remuneration costs are eligible Hungarian spend, involving foreign actors and crew members in the Hungarian taxation may result in an effective tax rebate rate of 18.75% (this ratio was 15.625% while the tax rebate was 25%). The reason for this is that the taxable remuneration not only forms basis of the 30% tax rebate but also increases the base of the eligible 20% foreign spend.
The eligible direct film production costs which form basis of the tax rebate also include the cost of royalties (up to 4% of the film production costs accounted for in the books of the Hungarian film production company), producer fees (up to 4% of the film production costs accounted for in the books of the Hungarian film production company), costs of pre-production and post-production, advertising costs (up to 2% of the film production costs accounted for in the books of the Hungarian film production company, capped at HUF 10 million), travel costs (where either the place of departure or arrival is in Hungary) and financing costs.
Film production companies may claim the 30% tax rebate either directly from sponsor companies directing part of their tax liability for that purpose, or from the deposit account of the Hungarian National Film Fund („Film Fund”). The deposit account operates since 2012, and the amount of the tax rebate approved as a result of a cost control procedure conducted by the NFO can be claimed from this account. A 2.5% administration fee is deducted by the Film Fund. The claims from the deposit account are fulfilled on the first-come first-served basis. In 2018, the approved available budget for film productions is HUF 33 billion that may be increased by additional HUF 3 billion during the year.
Please find below the link to Our tax expert Orientax description how can we maximalize the Tax Rebate which could go over 30% from the Hungarian Spendings.
