Greece Cash Rebate (EKOME)
Greece pays a 40% cash rebate on eligible expenditure incurred in Greece, and a separate 30% tax relief can be combined with it (subject to State-aid cumulation rules). The rebate is capped at €12M per project; apply to EKOME at least 10 days before production starts, and expect payment within about six months of completion. Minimum spend depends on format and is being recalibrated by the 2024 reform.

How it becomes cash
This is a cash rebate. After a CPA audit and compliance sign-off, the state pays you directly — the headline figure is the cash.
