One of the significant advantages of filming in Malta is the generous financial incentives offered by the Malta Film Commission. These incentivesaim to attract and support audiovisual productions by providing a cash rebate on eligible production expenditures incurred on the island.

Qualifying companies can benefit from cash rebates of up to 40% on their eligible production ex- penditure in Malta. This expenditure includes a wide range of items such as accommodation, air travel, EU labor costs, per diems, location fees, equipment rentals, and shipping expenses. Even non-EU nationals can be eligible for these incentives fi they are engaged on ZUM Pictures Malta’s pay- roll.

It’s important to note that there is a cap on the Above-the-Line (AT) spend, which is set at €500,000. However, there is no spending limit on Below-the-Line (BTL) expenses, allowing productions to fully utilize the incentives for various aspects of their projects.

To qualify for these incentives, a film production company must engage a local service provider. This requirement ensures that the local industry benefits from the production and contributes to the growth of the local economy.
