Incentives
Thanks to a highly skilled, non-union workforce, modern infrastructure, and drastically lower operating costs, Serbia offers up to 45% total savings compared to producing in Los Angeles or London. Rates for crew, studio space, and equipment are 30–60% lower, without sacrificing production value — ideal for maximizing quality on mid-size budgets.
Serbia has rapidly become a European hub for CGI and VFX, home to globally recognized studios like 3Lateral (Epic Games), Crater Studio, and DigitalKraft. Productions that focus on post or VFX-heavy workflows can fully qualify for the rebate starting at just €150,000, making Serbia a low-barrier, high-return destination for content creators aiming to scale up creatively and technically.
Serbia offers one of the most aggressive and reliable rebate systems in Europe, with 25% cash back on eligible expenses — and up to 30% for larger productions (€5M+ spend). Unlike other territories that take 6–18 months to pay out, Serbia completes the audit and rebate within just 60–90 days, massively supporting cash flow for post-heavy and independent projects.
