Thailand Film Treaty
Film treaties are developed to allow collaboration on a film or TV series between two countries’ productions. These agreements can be classified as bilateral agreements (between two countries) or multilateral agreements (between multiple countries). The benefits of film treaties allow productions to qualify as national productions in each country which can lead to financial government support, tax incentives, cash rebates, and more.
Thailand has signed treaties with several countries to prevent double taxation exclusively on foreign filmmakers. Furthermore, Thailand has established a cash rebate policy for foreign filmmakers to save on their productions in the country.
Cash Rebate
Thailand offers an attractive cash rebate policy for foreign films shot in the country. The program offers a tiered rebate system based on the spending levels achieved.
