About the Tax Rebate
for International Productions (TRIP)

The Tax Rebate for International Productions (TRIP) supports non-French projects that are partially or completely made in France. It applies to productions that merely have their shooting in France, including animation production, special effects or post-production work.

The amount allocated comprises 30% of the film eligible expenditures if it is shot in France, and has a cap of € 30 million per project.

The foreign producer needs to contract with a French company to handle the shoot in France or/and the making of the animation / VFX shots via a production service agreement. At the end of the financial fiscal year, the production services company can claim the rebate. The money is due by the tax authorities, and will be paid from six months to one year and a half after the last expenditure.

The minimum spending must beat least 250 000 euros OR 50% of the total budget to be spent in France, when it is less than 500 000 euros.

To be eligible, projects must pass a cultural test, which looks at European cultural elements in the story as well as French and European locations, characters, sources, landmarks, creators, crew and French technical hubs. For live action, there's a necessary minimum of 5 days of shoot in France. For animated productions and VFX-intensive projects, there is a designated cultural test, acknowledging the specificities of the genre.
Particularly, animated productions are identified with live footages which must match the required conditions:

  • At least 15% of all shots, which account for approximately one shot every minute and a half, are subject to digital processing, either to add characters, parts of movie sets or objects that take part in action, or else to alter the rendering of the scene or the cameraman's point of view.
  • Expenditures incurred in France made up for the most part of digital image processing expenditures that cover the "animation" scale.

The eligible expenditures are identical to any tax credit : audiovisual, animation and cinematography.

  • The wages and salaries of authors, actors, technicians and workers. Regarding actors, the amount of remuneration for tax credit are capped by minimal remunerations stated by audiovisual or film-making collective conventions and agreements. Should film-making and production staff be employed by the executive production company on a permanent basis, the wages and social security costs for the time they worked will be taken into account on the eligible tax credit work.
  • Expenditures related to technical industries and other audiovisual and film-making providers.
  • Expenditures for transportation, travels (including international travels), accommodation (capped at 270 euros per night and per person in Paris and inner suburbs, and 200 euros for the rest of France), and catering that is strictly necessary for the work production.
  • Depreciation charges are only taken into account for the time capital assets are used for the eligible tax credit work.

The French PSC files a provisional qualification at the CNC, with the necessary supporting documents. The standard application form is available on the CNC website: www.cnc.fr/web/fr/c2i
