The French Tax Rebate for International Productions (TRIP)

France offers one of the most competitive incentive schemes in Europe for international producers: the Tax Rebate for International Productions (TRIP), managed by the CNC.

This program allows foreign productions — films, TV series, animation, and VFX-heavy projects — to benefit from a 30% tax rebate on eligible expenses incurred in France. For projects with more than €2 million spent on French VFX, the rebate can go up to 40%. The maximum amount granted per project can reach €30 million.

To qualify, productions must work with a French production services company, and meet certain criterias: a minimum level of spend in France (at least €250,000 or 50% of the global budget), a cultural test, and a minimum of 5 days of shooting in France for live-action projects.

The TRIP covers a wide range of expenses, including cast and crew salaries, equipment and studio rentals, VFX and post-production services, and other production-related costs.

By combining world-class talent, cutting-edge facilities, and this highly attractive tax incentive, France has become a leading destination for international productions looking to maximize both creative and financial value.
