If you’re scouting locations for your next feature film, TV series, or commercial, you’ve likely heard the buzz: Spain has become one of Europe’s top filming destinations, thanks to some of the most generous tax incentives in the world. But what exactly do these rebates look like in 2025, and how can they supercharge your budget—especially in a hidden gem like the Región de Murcia?
Let’s break it down with the latest details. Spain offers a straightforward tax rebate for audiovisual productions spending in Spanish territory: 30% on the first €1 million of eligible expenses, and 25% on the rest. The minimum spend is €1 million (or just €200,000 for animation), with caps at €20 million per feature film or €10 million per episode for series. Overall, incentives can’t exceed 50% of the production cost, but that’s still a game-changer for international shoots.
These rebates apply to foreign productions too, as long as you meet cultural and nationality criteria from the ICAA (like using Spanish/EU crew and spending locally). Regional boosts make it even sweeter—Canary Islands hit up to 50-54%, Navarra around 35-40%—while mainland spots like Murcia stick to the solid 30/25% structure. For investors and Spanish producers, there’s an additional layer: deductions up to 18% for producers and 5% for financial coproducers under the Spanish Cinema Law.
Why does this matter for your project? These incentives have fueled a boom—Spain attracted record-breaking productions in recent years, from blockbusters like Terminator: Dark Fate to streaming hits. Pair that with Murcia’s 300+ sunny days, diverse locations (think Mediterranean beaches, dramatic cliffs, and charming historic towns), bilingual crews, and lower costs than overcrowded spots like Barcelona or Madrid… and you’ve got a recipe for stretching your budget further without sacrificing quality.
