The “Film in Malaysia Incentive” (FIMI) is the Malaysian Government’s incentive for film, television and other screen production activity conducted in Malaysia and is intended to encourage support for the Malaysian content production industry.
The FIMI offers film and television producers a cash rebate of 30% on all Qualifying Malaysian Production Expenditure (QMPE). The incentive is available to both domestic and foreign productions and for either Production Activity (including production and post production work) or Post Production Activity (where only post production work is carried out in Malaysia). This note provides an overview of the opportunity for foreign productions.
