Productions filming in Malta before 31 December 2009 are eligible for the financial incentives under Legal Notice 65/2006. The incentives are in the form of a cash grant given to eligible productions on the qualifying expenditure incurred in Malta. Up to 22% of the eligible expenditure can be obtained as a cash rebate by a qualifying production company once filming is complete. Feature film and television productions, mini-series, animation and documentaries are all eligible for the incentives, provided that they are at least partially produced in Malta.
Tax Credits
The Government of Malta, under various legislations, offers filmmakers the possibility to produce and distribute audiovisual productions from Malta and pay the lowest corporate tax rates in the European Union. Companies or individuals investing in audiovisual infrastructure in Malta can qualify for tax credits of up to 50% of their investment on the islands whilst producers that shoot in Malta can obtain a cash grant of up to 20% of their expenditure on the islands.
