AUDIOVISUAL INCENTIVES IN COLOMBIA: MAXIMIZE YOUR PRODUCTION WITH LAW 1556

Colombia has become the epicenter of major audiovisual productions thanks to the unique incentives provided by Law 1556 of 2012. Projects like Narcos, Jack Ryan, Triple Frontier, Mile 22, Gemini Man, Loving Pablo, Memoria, American Made, andOne Hundred Years of Solitude, among others, have all benefited from these advantages—and now your project can too, regardless of its size or genre.

This law grants access to a Cash Rebate of up to 40% on audiovisual services and 20% on logistical expenses. Additionally, with CINAS (Audiovisual Investment Incentive Certificates), you can gain immediate liquidity by selling these certificates in the Colombian stock market, helping you recover your investment in real time—whether it’s a feature film, series, commercial, music video, video game, reality show, and more.

Colombia not only offers financial incentives but also stands out for its economic stability in Latin America, a vast array of locations and climates, a growing pool of professionals, and state-of-the-art technical equipment. All this makes it a preferred destination for productions of all sizes. Just ensure that your project meets the legal requirements.
