Cash Rebates

The Malta Film Commission offers generous financial incentives of up to 40% to audiovisual productions filming on the island. These incentives are in the form of a cash rebate given to qualifying companies on the eligible production expenditure incurred in Malta which includes accommodation, air travel, labour cost, per diems, location fees, all rentals, shipping.

Eligible ATL expenditures shall be capped as per one of the below options*:

  • €1 million; or
  • 30% of total Malta eligible spend

subject that this does not exceed the actual ATL costs incurred.

Total entitled cash rebate amount on ATL spend in Malta will not exceed the €5 million mark.

Latina Pictures is by a long stretch the most active film production company having submitted over 20  applications with a 100% success rate.  Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about fiscal incentives.
