The state aid may be provided to the beneficiary at the time the investment plan is completed, and productive operations commence, or gradually if the following conditions are fulfilled:

Tax exemption

The beneficiary is entitled to a tax exemption after an audit and approval of the implementation of 50% or 65% of the investment plan budget, with a decision issued within 30 days from the submission of the investment audit report. The beneficiary can utilize the full tax exemption over 15 years from the fiscal year of the entitlement, subject to the following restrictions:

  • The annual tax exemption amount should not exceed 1/3 of the total approved amount of the tax exemption, except in the case of non-full use in previous tax years due to lack of sufficient profits. In that case, any remaining amount of aid from previous tax years shall be added to the above calculated maximum annual amount of aid;
  • The aid to which the interested party is entitled should not exceed 1/3 of the total approved amount of the tax exemption, until the tax year of the decision to complete and start the productive operation of the investment;
  • The amount of the tax exemption for the part of the equipment acquired by leasing shall be determined for each tax year as a percentage of the part of the acquisition value of the equipment contained in the rents paid up to the end of the tax year; and
  • The annual tax exemption amount used appears in the books of the business in a special reserve account and corresponding account consisting of the income tax that was not paid due to the tax exemption provided.
Cash grant

A beneficiary will be entitled, upon request, to receive a cash grant up to 25% of the total approved grant after the competent audit body has certified the implementation of 25% of the total cost of the investment plan. The supporting documents must be submitted with a certificate, i.e., a declaratory act regarding their correctness issued by a certified accountant. A decision will be issued within 30 days of the relevant request being submitted.

The remaining 50% or 65% of the approved grant will be provided to the beneficiary at its request and after the implementation of 50% or 65% of the total cost of the investment plan has been certified by a competent body through an on-site or administrative audit.

The remaining amount of the grant, or its entirety, will be provided after the decision to complete and start the productive operation of the investment.

The amount of the grant will not be deducted from the investment costs to determine taxable profits.

The cash grant will be paid electronically directly to the bank account of the beneficiary and cannot be made to a third party, except in the case of the assignment of the grant to banking institutions for the provision of an equal short-term loan used exclusively for the implementation of the investment plan.
Leasing subsidy

The first payment of the leasing subsidy will be made after the state auditors certify that all of the leased equipment has been installed according to the lease agreement.

The leasing subsidy will be paid every six months following the payment of the lease installments by the beneficiary. The amount payable will be calculated on the acquisition value of the equipment, which is included in the installments and in accordance with approved state aid rates. The subsidy may not exceed 60% of the approved amount before the completion of the investment plan and the commencement of productive operations.

A beneficiary may be permitted to make advance lease payments during the last 12 months of the lease agreement if approval of the authorities is obtained.

The leasing subsidy will not be deducted from the investment cost in calculating the taxable profits of the beneficiary.
Subsidy for the cost of created employment

The payment of the subsidy will commence after the state auditors certify that the relevant new employment has been created.

The subsidy will be paid every six months following the payment of the relevant salary costs by the beneficiary in accordance with approved state aid rates, and up to 60% of the approved amount before the completion of the investment plan and the commencement of productive operations.
Financing of business risk Applies only to the "new business" scheme and consists of the subsidy of interest-bearing loans of low security or the insurance costs of high-risk loans paid to the credit institutions that grant them.
