Supporting the production of audiovisual works in Greece
Legislation in effect
In August 2017, the Greek Parliament passed a law (No. 4487/2017) of the Ministry of Digital Policy, Telecommunications and Media, introducing a cash rebate scheme that will be covering part of the eligible costs for national and international audiovisual productions.More specifically, Chapter D of the above Law, concerns the Establishment of An Institutional Framework to Enhance the Production of Audiovisual Works in Greece, giving the opportunity to producers of films, television series, documentaries, animation, as well as video game designers, to produce their works in Greece by qualifying for a subsidy under the investment scheme. The incentive, which covers specific categories of eligible costs that will be incurred in Greece and can cover up to 80% of production expenses, sets a minimum of €100,000 for eligible expenses in the case of feature films, a minimum of €60,000 in the case of digital games and implements a flexible floor starting at €30,000 per episode, in the case of television series. A total of €75 million guarantees the funding of the incentive for the period 2018-2022 with a provision of renewal.
