Abu Dhabi Film Commission Raises Its New Rebate to Up to 50% of Qualified Production Spend


The Abu Dhabi Film Commission has further raised Its new rebate to up to 50% of qualified production spend.

After becoming a prime Middle East hub for Hollywood and Bollywood productions over the past decade, the Abu Dhabi Film Commission in October announced they were upping their previous 30% rebate to more than 35%. These include featuring the UAE’s national history, culture and identity in the productions’ storylines; carrying out full post-production work in Abu Dhabi; and doing the main unit production of a feature film in Abu Dhabi and/or filming an entire TV series in the emirate. Major Hollywood productions that have shot in Abu Dhabi over the past decade include “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One”; “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”; “6 Underground” and “Furious 7” as well as Bollywood hits such as “Vikram Vedha”; “Tiger Zinda Hai” and Bharat.
