- - The Apulia International Film Fund will reimburse 15% of the production costs incurred in Apulia, thus allowing non-Italian producers to obtain a further 25% tax credit provided for by Italian law. In addition, production companies will enjoy a VAT-free status following international legislation which excludes VAT for agreements between Italian executive producers and foreign producers.
As a result, a total saving of 61% is available for non-Italian production companies filming in Apulia.
The total amount, including other funds support, may not exceed 50% of the budget.
In order to apply, one must provide documents confirming a financial coverage of 60% of the budget.
