Denmark to Launch Tax Incentive to Attract Foreign Film, TV Shoots
Denmark has approved the launch of a tax incentive to lure international TV and films, joining the ranks of all other Nordic countries.
In spite of its vibrant creative community and home to many critically acclaimed directors such as Susanne Bier, Lars van Trier, Nicolas Winding Refn and Thomas Vinterberg, Denmark is currently the only country in Europe, along with Luxembourg, to not have a rebate program in place. “We have such a qualified industry in Denmark, with world-acclaimed directors, actors and producers and crews who have been trained to work at the high standards, so it’s about time we get an incentive to attract international productions,” said Nielsen. Morten Dahlin, the minister for urban and rural affairs, said “Film and TV productions help to showcase Denmark abroad, so that we can attract tourism and income to the entire country to an even greater extent.”
