Finland offers a competetive national cash rebate for international productions, administered by Business Finland. The 25% cash rebate is offered for production costs in Finland. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, without fixed deadlines, and payments can be made to the production company in instalments during the production period.
In addition to the national incentive, several Finnish regions offer their own production incentives. When combined with the Business Finland rebate, productions can access up to 40% back on their eligible Finnish spend, depending on the location.
The Finnish cash rebate system is known for its transparency, efficient processing and predictable payment schedule, providing productions with a reliable financial framework.
As a trusted local partner with established relationships across Finland’s national and regional funding bodies, we support the entire funding process, from initial eligibility assessment and application to final reporting and audit. We can also help identify additional funding opportunities beyond the incentive schemes where relevant.
