On Location
Contract management for Belgian productions spans Tax Shelter intermediary agreements, bilingual crew and talent deals, and compliance with EU and federal Belgian law across Flanders and Wallonia.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We manage the full contract lifecycle for shoots operating in Belgium, from crew and talent engagements to location agreements, supplier deals and the funding documents tied to the Belgian Tax Shelter. Our team prepares and tracks agreements in French and Dutch as the production needs, reflecting Belgium's federal language structure and making sure that crew drawn from both communities know their terms.
Here is how that works. We set up with the Tax Shelter intermediary that channels private investment into qualifying shoots, aligning contractual milestones with the spend duties the scheme imposes, and we keep agreements steady with the support conditions of the VAF, Screen Flanders, Wallimage and screen.brussels. Because Belgium is a founding EU member inside the single market, Schengen and the Eurozone, contracts here also account for straightforward intra-EU movement of crew and gear and pricing in euros, with VAT at 21%.
Here is how the picture comes together. Belgian contract work sits within a clear regulatory frame. Data handling in talent and crew contracts must respect GDPR. The Belgian data-protection authority, the APD/GBA. Engagements involving minors, stunts or pro roles carry specific duties. And shoots co-funded by VRT or RTBF take on TV networks-mandated terms. We make sure each agreement is enforceable, well executed and steady across a production's regional footprint, whether a shoot is centred on Brussels, the medieval cities of Flanders or the Ardennes of Wallonia. Our team keeps organised contract records that satisfy Tax Shelter audit needs and regional-fund reporting. We flag renewal dates, payment triggers and rights windows so shoots stay ahead of their duties rather than reacting to them.
