NO LIMIT TO YOUR ARTISTIC VISION
No budget cap per project exists under the Italian Tax Credit Scheme, and the credit awarded can reach a maximum of 18 million euros per international movie. Only an Italian production company is entitled to apply to the Tax Credit Scheme with the Ministry of Culture via the following steps:
Step 1: Preliminary Application
Submitted by an Italian company only and signed by the foreign producer, it cannot be made earlier than 90 days from the start of shooting. After this deadline, you should bear in mind that the application is not without a time limit and can only be made when the Ministry opens its special windows.
Step 2: Tax Credit Final Application
Submitted by an Italian production company and countersigned by the foreign producer, it includes the costs incurred by the Italian company, certified by an independent chartered accountant. The gap between the budgeted costs and the eventually ascertained costs may not exceed 10%.
Step 3: Tax Credit Final Amount
Within 60 days of submitting the final application, the Cinema Department of the Ministry of Culture will confirm the exact amount of the tax credit earned by the eligible title. The application consists of these and several others details that our team of experts will handle with and for you through the whole process.
