PSN South Africa taps you into film incentives in South Africa as well as Mauritius.
The South Africa government offers an incentive to co-productions filmed in the country in order to support the local film industry. Feature films, tele-movies, television drama series, documentaries, and animation with a total production budget of R2.5 million and above may benefit.
The available rebate is 35% of the first R6 million of Qualifying South African Production Expenditure (QSAPE) and 25% of the QSAPE on amounts above R6 million.
Applicants must create a Special Purpose Corporate Vehicle (SPCV) incorporated in the Republic of South Africa solely to produce the film or television project. The SPCV and parent company(ies) must have a majority of South African shareholders of whom at least one shareholder must play an active role in the production and be accredited in that role.
An applicant must be the entity responsible for all activities involved in making the production in South Africa and must have access to full financial information for the whole production.
PSN South Africa is also registered locally on Mauritius to extend the country's incentives to its clients. Commercial, feature film, and documentary projects may receive a 40% refund on qualifying production expenditures.
Our team is at the ready to partner with producers of qualifying projects in order to benefit from local incentives in Mauritius and South Africa.
Contact us with the details of your project, and let's discuss how to make it happen!
You may already know about our long, sunny days during the northern winters, the close proximity of great locations that can double for just about anywhere, the varied local talent pool, the favourable exchange rate, the huge benefit of virtually no time difference with European cities, with an easy overnight flight.
And then there are the award-winning restaurants, wine farms and vibrant culture that can sometimes make your clients' stay feel more like a holiday than work. Sets the right tone, for sure.
But if this is news to you, then please feel free to get in touch and we will gladly elaborate on the competitive edge that we can offer your production down here in southern Africa.
We have facilitated beautiful, cinematic car shoots, spectacular location shoots all over Africa, elaborate stunt and SFX shoots, as well as providing a studio base when the board dictates. Oh, and we love a good music video, especially award wining ones.
Our production expertise stretches throughout southern Africa across Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, up to Rwanda and across to the Indian Ocean islands of Seychelles, Mauritius, and Madagascar.
