Common Questions
How much is the Morocco cash rebate, and is it capped?
Morocco reimburses 30% of qualifying expenditure incurred in the country. Since the March 2022 reform the rebate is uncapped, with no maximum per-project value, and eligible expenditure is recognised up to 90% of the total production budget.
When will I receive the cash rebate?
The Centre Cinématographique Marocain (CCM) pays the rebate in a single installment within 180 days of approving the complete, audited payment file.
What do I need to qualify?
Productions must spend at least MAD10 million (about USD 1 million) in Morocco, shoot a minimum of 18 days (set building counts), work through a CCM-registered Moroccan production company, and post a bank guarantee of 5% of the requested support.
Do I need a Morocco production company?
Yes. You must work with a CCM-registered Moroccan production services company. Fixers in Morocco can serve as your local partner and handle the application and audit requirements.
