How to apply
1. | Project registration |
---|
The applicant must be a tax resident in the Czech Republic with a place of business or permanent establishment in the Czech Republic.
Projects must pass a simple test for European cultural and production criteria. Applicants submit their application for project registration along with the cultural test, a synopsis and a Czech version of the script. Application fee is CZK 30,000. Registrations can be submitted at any time of the year. Costs incurred after the date of the submission of registration papers (the ‘definitive day’) are eligible for the rebate; costs paid before that date are not eligible. The fund issues a registration certificate within 30 days of receiving the application for project registration. The certificate is valid for 4 years, during which time the applicant must request the payment of the incentive. |
2. | Project listing (allocation of the rebate) |

Upon receiving the registration certificate, the applicant can apply for the allocation of the rebate via a project listing application.
Applicants must submit the project listing application within 3 years of receiving the registration certificate. The timing of the application is important:
