Under the new Cyprus Filming Scheme, producers and media companies are encouraged to take advantage of Cyprus's terrain and infrastructure as well as a number of legal, corporate, and financial incentives for filming in Cyprus. A number of incentives are included in the Cyprus Filming Scheme to promote the filming and production of movies and other audiovisual content in Cyprus. In addition to a tax deduction for infrastructure improvements and a VAT return on expenditure, applicants have the option of receiving tax credits or cash rebates.
A special committee made up of senior officials from the Ministries of Education and Culture, Finance, and Tourism, as well as a senior officer chosen by the Board of Directors of Invest Cyprus, will review the applications.
Which companies qualify
Private sector businesses operating in Cyprus directly or through a branch office that have been registered in Cyprus or any other EU member state are eligible.
Which productions qualify
The incentives provided by the Scheme can help a variety of audiovisual contents. There are many types of content that qualify even though it is a necessity that all audiovisual productions promote Cyprus culture and the island as a whole. Before any filming can begin, the Committee must pre-approve all productions.
AMP Filmworks
Founded in 2005, AMP Filmworks has established itself as one of the most reliable and respectable production houses in Cyprus. Over the years, we have managed to break the barriers of the island’s small industry and successfully produce and co-produce feature films for the European and International market. For the years to come, our vision is to continue (co)producing quality films with international appeal, combining both artistic and commercial success.
