Malta has just launched a new 40% cash rebate program for international film productions. The updated cash rebate incentive for audiovisual productions includes a new hybrid above-the-line cap. Eligible above-the-line expenditures will now be capped at either €1 million or 30% of total Malta eligible spend, whichever is the higher.
The cash rebate program is now eligible for all international crew. Labor costs for below-the-line expenditures are no longer limited to EU/EEA/UK nationals, making this incentive applicable to all nationalities.
Malta Film Commissioner Johann Grech has introduced this updated cash rebate program as Bolder and Better. “We’ve just got bolder and better. Malta’s strong 40% cash rebate incentive for audiovisual productions has taken another bold step forward." "We are determined to create more opportunities which will lead to careers, to build a better and sustainable filming industry”, concluded Johann Grech.
