Spain Promotes New ‘Up-To-70%’ Tax Incentive for Foreign And National Productions
Spain offers a variety of incentives and tax rebates for film production, making it an attractive location for filmmakers and production companies. These incentives are designed to encourage the growth of the film industry and attract investment to the country.
One of the main incentives for film production in Spain is the tax rebate program, which allows eligible productions to receive a rebate on their Spanish taxes. The rebate amount varies depending on the type and budget of the project but can be as high as 25% of eligible expenses incurred in Spain. To be eligible for the tax rebate, productions must meet certain requirements, such as a minimum spend in Spain, and the use of Spanish talent and resources.
Another incentive for film production in Spain is the National Film and Audiovisual Arts Institute (ICAA) funding program. The ICAA provides funding for a range of film projects, including feature films, short films, documentaries, and animation, with a focus on supporting the development of Spanish talent and content.
Spain also offers a supportive film infrastructure, with a range of world-class facilities and services available to productions. From studio space to post-production facilities, Spain has everything you need to produce top-quality film content.
So if you’re considering filming in Spain, be sure to explore all the incentives and tax rebates available to maximize your investment and ensure the success of your project.
