Unlock Incentives

Law 1556 of 2012 of Colombia has become a fundamental pillar to attract national and international film productions to the country. This legislation offers tax incentives and cash rebates that can significantly reduce production costs. At TheGseven Colombia Producciones, we make the most of these benefits to offer our clients high-quality and profitable production solutions.

Cash Rebates
