Film Incentives

Film Incentives Colombia has broadened the benefits for foreign content creation and turned the country into one of the most appealing and attractive destinations for international creatives in South America.

Foreign film, video, and gaming companies can now apply for one of two kinds of incentives:

. FFC (Colombian Film Fund): The fund reimburses 40% of all expenses in film and video services hired through Colombian companies and 20% of all expenses in hotel, food, and transportation services contracted in the country in the executing of foreign productions. Films, series, and music videos can apply for this benefit.
. CINA (Audiovisual investment certificate in Colombia): Foreign film, video, and gaming projects approved by the Colombian Film Promotion Board will receive this certificate, which provides a discount of 35% on Colombian income taxes. The discount value corresponds to the investment made in the country during the production and post-production of such projects. It can be negotiated with any individual or company required to pay income taxes in Colombia. Films, series, web series, music videos, video games, and advertisements can apply for this benefit.
