The Incentive

A Game-Changer for International Producers

Committed to boosting its thriving screen industry, the Cyprus government has introduced a comprehensive package of incentives designed to attract international productions. The scheme offers production companies a choice between a cash rebate or tax credit, whichever works best for your production's financial structure.

Reality TV productions are now fully eligible, making Cyprus a genuinely compelling option for a broader range of international formats. Combined with tax discounts on equipment and infrastructure investments, and VAT returns on qualifying expenses, the total financial benefit can be substantial.

This EU-backed incentive provides unmatched financial advantages for productions looking to maximise budgets while leveraging Cyprus' diverse filming locations, year-round sunshine, and skilled local workforce.

Cash Rebate or Tax Credit
Production companies can choose between a direct cash rebate of up to 45% or an equivalent tax credit, whichever best suits your production's financial model.
Equipment & Infrastructure
Tax discounts apply to equipment purchases and infrastructure investments made in Cyprus, reducing your above-the-line and below-the-line costs significantly.
VAT Returns
Qualifying production expenses are eligible for VAT returns, adding another layer of financial benefit on top of the core rebate or credit.
EU-Backed Security
The scheme operates within EU state aid frameworks, giving international producers the confidence and security of a transparent, government-guaranteed incentive.
