Morocco's 30% Cash Rebate and 20% VAT Exemption

For all film projects, equal to or over $1 million, filmmakers can take advantage of the Moroccan government’s considerable incentives, which include a 30% cash rebate and a 20% VAT exemption on all eligible spending within the country. Morocco is a great place for international film production because of these incentives as well as its distinctive and varied filming locations.

A Royal Welcome: Unparalleled Production Services and 50% Budget Relief

Under the visionary leadership of King Mohammed VI, Morocco has established itself as one of the world’s most accessible, financially lucrative, and efficient filming destinations. By royal decree, the Kingdom has actively dismantled bureaucratic barriers to welcome international filmmakers. Productions now benefit from a strict 20% VAT exemption on all locally purchased goods and services, combined with Morocco’s highly competitive, uncapped 30% cash rebate on eligible local expenditure. Together, these powerful incentives allow international projects to save up to 50% of their production budget.

To ensure your shoot moves at the speed of your creativity, administrative and logistical hurdles have been drastically streamlined. Customs clearance procedures for the temporary import and export of technical equipment, including specialised firearms and ammunition for action sequences, are now legally expedited. Furthermore, the Ministry of Culture has significantly lowered its fees, offering heavily reduced contribution rates for filming across Morocco’s breathtaking historical sites and heritage locations.

At Maroc Film Services, we seamlessly bridge the gap between these robust governmental incentives and your daily workflow. Our team handles the specialised paperwork, navigates the fast-tracked customs channels, and accurately structures your local spend from day one to guarantee maximum rebate compliance. With a government fully committed to your success and an experienced local partner ready to execute, Morocco offers the ultimate infrastructure for your next project.
