Hungary offers a 30% tax incentive on direct production expenses incurred during pre-production, production, and post-production with a 90-day turnaround. This includes accommodation, living expenses in Hungary, and travel to Hungarian destinations (with stopovers allowed).
Eligible wages for both above- and below-the-line personnel, when paid by a qualified Hungarian production, are covered. Additionally, the rebate extends to financing, legal, and administrative costs such as insurance, completion bonds, bank fees, and interest charges—delivering comprehensive
financial benefits for your production.
Hungary’s 30% tax rebate applies to eligible Hungarian expenditures, with up to 25% of the qualifying spend allocated to non-Hungarian expenses, which also benefit from the 30% rebate. This indirect subsidy is non-recourse, non-repayable, and non-recoupable, provided by local corporate taxpayers.
Eligible expenditures, whether local or foreign, can be made in any currency (USD, EUR, GBP, HUF) and may occur outside of Hungary. With no minimum spend, no per-project cap, and no annual fiscal budget limit, the system is designed to accommodate productions of all scales.
Producers also benefit from the favorable exchange rates between the American dollar and Hungarian forint, allowing for significant additional savings on production costs.
„It’s not enough to be Hungarian – You must also have talent” – Adolf Zukor, Paramount Pictures
