WHY?
IT'S A NO BRAINER
Shooting in Colombia is a smart and seamless investment opportunity. There are two incentive options from which an international production can benefit: The Law 814 of 2003 which establishes tax incentives for investors and donors in national productions; and the Law 1556 of 2016, which rewards international productions for shooting with us and creating employment opportunities with highly convenient tax rebates. Such incentives result in either a cash payment wired to any international bank account or a tax certificate that can be transferred or traded on the financial market.
Thanks to these incentives, shooting in Colombia has become one of the most profitable audiovisual landscapes for foreign investors and producers, who can recover up to 40% of audiovisual service expenses and 20% logistic expenses six months after the last eligible payment is made on Colombian soil. The net average recovered is approximately 30% of the total local expenses. Films, TV Series and Music videos can apply to this incentive.
You can obtain a tax certificate with a 35% discount of the amount spent on logistics and audiovisual services from local companies. Continente Pictures can apply, execute and sell the certificate, ensuring you receive the benefit.
Film productions and TV series with at least USD $555,000 in local expenses, Music Videos with at least US $62,000 in local expenses, and Advertising shoots with at least USD $124,000 can all apply for the CINA certificate.
CASH REBATE - FCC
IT'S COLOMBIA
A haven of rich biodiversity, natural beauty and stunning landscapes, Colombia prides itself in having endless cinematographic views that can adapt to any production's needs. Our convenient proximity to the Equator means we don't have seasons, meaning you can shoot all year with a comfortable and convenient climate. Depending on the geography of the shoot, you can have urban, colder landscapes; beachy, tropical paradises, arid and sunny deserts or misty, foggy forests: all a short plane or car ride from the main cities.
TALENT, EXPERIENCE AND SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE
These incentives have also allowed the national audiovisual industry to garner one of the most impressive and solid production infrastructures in the Continent, as well as the consolidation of some of the most experienced technical crews, with several top of the line rental houses at our disposal. High end profiles have come to shoot in Colombia alongside our local talent, among them Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Will Smith, Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem and Mark Wahlberg, all of them attracted by the passion, warmth and work ethics of Colombian crews.
