Beside Tax Shelter

What we do: Beside Tax Shelter is a leading Belgian company specializing in the financing of European audiovisual and artistic projects through the Belgian Tax Shelter system, a government-backed fiscal incentive designed to support the cultural sector. Our core business is to connect profitable Belgian companies with high-potential film, TV, concert, and theater productions, enabling these companies to benefit from significant tax reductions while supporting the arts. We operate at the intersection of financial services and entertainment, serving both investors seeking fiscal advantages and producers in need of funding for their creative projects. Since our inception, we have raised over 175 million euros from Belgian corporations and inject approximately 30 million euros annually into local and international cultural productions, making a tangible impact on Europe’s creative landscape.

Where we are located: Our headquarters are located at Avenue du Japon 35, 1420 Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium. This central location allows us to maintain close relationships with both the Belgian business community and the European cultural sector.

Short history: Founded in 2015, Beside Tax Shelter quickly established itself as a leader in the Belgian Tax Shelter market. The company was created in response to a reform of Belgium’s Tax Shelter system, with the aim of maximizing the benefits of this incentive for both investors and the cultural sector. Over the years, we have facilitated the financing of numerous high-profile films, TV series, and live performances, contributing to the international reputation of Belgian co-productions. Our partnership with Belga Films, a historic film distributor, further strengthens our position in the industry.

Organization & culture: Beside Tax Shelter operates with a dedicated team of around 12 professionals who are passionate about culture and innovation. We foster a collaborative, dynamic, and integrity-driven work environment where every team member is encouraged to contribute to our shared vision. Our values include transparency, reliability, and a true partnership approach, both internally and with our clients. We believe that a strong company culture is the foundation of our success and our ability to deliver consistent results for our partners.

Recent developments: In recent years, Beside Tax Shelter has continued to expand its portfolio, supporting an increasing number of international co-productions and working with major global platforms and broadcasters. Our team has managed hundreds of shooting days across Europe, contributing to the success of projects for partners such as Amazon, Disney+, Netflix, and HBO Max. We remain committed to ethical practices and to delivering expected returns to our investors without additional costs, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted partner in the Tax Shelter ecosystem.
