uFund

uFund is a Belgian financial services brand specialising in the Tax Shelter, a tax incentive created by Article 194ter of the Belgian Income Tax Code. Operating from Belgium and accessible through its website ufund.be, uFund presents itself as an expert in Tax Shelter investments and as a partner for companies seeking to reduce their corporate tax through investments in qualifying productions. The brand is positioned within the Umedia group, where it combines financial expertise with audiovisual production capability. The Tax Shelter mechanism described by uFund allows Belgian companies subject to corporate tax, under certain conditions and limits, to reduce their taxes by supporting an audiovisual work (film, series, documentary), a performing arts work (theatre, ballet, opera, etc.) or a video game. uFund frames this as a "win-win-win" investment benefiting the investing companies, the audiovisual sector, the performing arts, the video game industry and the State. uFund's commercial proposition centres on a dual return mechanism. According to its website, the tax advantage allows a company to deduct 421% of the Tax Shelter investment from its taxable base for the tax year in which the framework agreement is signed. For an investment of 100 at a 25% tax rate, the stated tax advantage is 105.25. In addition, uFund describes a complementary premium calculated over a maximum period of 18 months, corresponding to 4.5% plus the prevailing Euribor rate (2.616% in the second half of 2026). At the time of the source, this non-actuarial complementary return was stated as 10.67% gross of the amount invested, or 8.01% net, contributing to a total net return of 13.26% (5.25% + 8.01% net). uFund states that it has developed an innovative, investor-centred approach over more than 22 years, with a unique positioning within the Umedia group: an alliance between financial expertise and production. The brand therefore operates at the intersection of corporate tax optimisation and entertainment financing, serving Belgian companies that wish to combine tax efficiency with support for cultural and creative productions.
