- 1. Fiscal Incentives: The most powerful in the world with 50 % TAX REBATE & 0 % VAT
Through our studio, you can access the tax incentives of the Canary Islands for 2d/3d Animation, Game Design, Film and VFX/Postproduction, whose main advantages lie in these 2 points:
- 50 % Tax Rebate for the deduction of the investment of the production carried out in the Canary Islands. These are the most powerful in the world, a unique opportunity with which their production will recover more than half of the investment. To access them, you must hire a local production company such as Windlanders Studio, as well as meet a series of technical investment and contracting requirements, which we will manage through the service.
- 0 % VAT for the purchase of equipment and software (i.e. excluding VAT). With these incentives, you are free of value added tax on the purchase of the equipment you need for your project. Compare this with the VAT in the rest of Spain, which is 21% on the cost of the product, which shows that the savings are considerable.
