An example
You contribute€10,000
Deduction (120%)€12,000
Net saving (~20%)€2,000

Illustrative example. The saving is around 20% in any bracket; the detail depends on your liability. The deduction goes against the tax liability, not the taxable base.

02 · How it works

From decision to deduction, in four steps

It involves you, your tax adviser and Hulahoop.

  1. Tax diagnosis

    We look at your estimated corporate or personal income tax liability for the year and you confirm the fit.

    01
  2. Firm simulation

    We give you the amount to contribute, the deduction and the net saving based on your actual position.

    02
  3. Your adviser validates

    We give them the technical pack (legal basis and tax-authority guide) for their sign-off.

    03
  4. Signature and deduction

    It's signed, you contribute within the tax year and the deduction is applied on your return.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe with the tax authorities?
It's covered by Art. 36 and 39.7 LIS (2021), validated by the European Commission in Nov. 2023. Certified by ICAA/INAEM.
How much do you save?
~20% net on the amount contributed. The gross deduction is 120% against the liability, within the 25–50% limit. We run a prior simulation for you.
Is it an investment with a return?
No. It's a tax deduction (LIS), not an investment product. The benefit is a tax saving known before signing.
What's the minimum ticket?
€5,000. It's adjusted to your tax liability so it fits without forcing anything.
What if the project doesn't do well?
Nothing is lost. The deduction depends on the certification (ICAA/INAEM), not on box-office or audience success.
How long does it take?
1 to 2 weeks from decision to signature, depending on the project and your adviser's validation.
Is there any cost to me?
None. The full contribution goes to the project. No fees or hidden costs.
