If a 40% tax credit is not enough for a motion picture and TV series production or an original soundtrack recording, how about the complete support of a Film Commission dedicated to make your project run smoothly, the security of an experienced crew and the latest equipment unmatched by any other island in the Caribbean?

Puerto Rico’s 40% tax credit is one of the highest incentives of any community.

Puerto Rico's warm welcome

With US-style services, skilled crews, impressive locations and a 40% tax incentive, this Caribbean island has a lot to offer producers. Wendy Mitchell reports.

George Clooney and Johnny Depp are not shooting in Puerto Rico just for the sunshine and rum.

For many international film-makers, Puerto Rico represents the best of all worlds, offering Caribbean locations and year-round filmable weather while still being a US commonwealth with US-style crews and ways of working. And there certainly is a sunny outlook for the bottom line, thank to the popular 40% tax credit on local spend.
