Spain

Film Incentives

Spain offers a tax rebate for non-Spanish projects that are completely or partly made in the country. Commercial productions are not eligible. The incentive targets cinema and film, scripted TV, animation, and gaming.

A minimum production spend of 1 million Euros in Spain is required to benefit from the 20% tax credit. That incentive can increase to 40% in the Canary Islands. An alternative financing model providing tax credit from 30-40% to local investors in a film project is also on offer in Navarre and the Basque Country.

Rebates are made to the Spanish production service company working locally with the foreign production company. Government payback can be expected 18 - 24 months after the production wrap and successful presentation of an audit. Earlier credit towards the rebate may be negotiated with PSN Spain.

These are the fundamental parameters. Precise details are best explored on a case-by-case basis so don't hesitate to reach out to us with your project's details. We aim to maximize the savings available to your foreign production in Spain.

As one of the production service companies registered by Spain's Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts (ICAA), we are also positioned to discuss co-productions eligible for Spanish and European assistance. It is helpful to note from the outset that periodic selection processes only make this approach practical for qualifying productions with all needed documentation prepared for submission a full year before shooting. Local film financing options can also be explored.
