Conventios, agreements and funds for the promotion of the industry
Uruguay has many international co-production agreements that facilitate cooperation between countries to promote their film and audiovisual industries, as well as to finance projects within the sector. In addition to this great advantage, Uruguay has signed 17 agreements to avoid double taxation between different countries. To this context of international cooperation, the country adds a large national platform of audiovisual funds that promote the development, production and post-production of audiovisual projects. These are some of the incentives that position Uruguay as a strategic partner when choosing to produce an audiovisual project.

ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENTS OF THESE AGREEMENTS
Uruguay has 17 agreements in force that eliminate double taxation between the parties, with respect to income and net-worth taxes, and guarantee non-discrimination in taxation.
These agreements offer stability and predictability in tax matters since they establish mechanisms to avoid double taxation, by indicating which of the Contracting States has tax competence for the main taxes linked to income and wealth.
This is achieved by waiving the jurisdiction of one of the States, or by determining maximum rates in the event that double taxation is admitted and thus generating mechanisms to deduct or exempt taxes paid in another territory.
