January, Paris and Strasbourg will welcome five or six days filming of some scenes of "Sherlock Holmes 2". The film, as the first episode, by Guy Ritchie will benefit from the tax credit proposed to foreign filmmakers turn in France. Adopted in France in the Finance Act, the extent to which had to wait for the validation of Brussels celebrates its first anniversary. It allows the foreign productions which spend at least 1 million euros in French territory to receive a tax credit of 20 within the limit of EUR 4 million. To avoid the abuses, fees of the stars are only very partially taken into account.
Attracted by this advantage, of great filmmakers Americans like Clint Eastwood ("Hereafter"), Martin Scorsese ("The Invention of Hugo Cabret") and Woody Allen ("Midnight in Paris") chose to film in France. And they are not alone. In total, 29 feature films received the approval which should enable them to take advantage of the tax device, according to the Agency of promotion Film France. At the origin of the majority of requests, Hollywood is the first recipient, far ahead of the United Kingdom. Film France, the measure should represent a near cost of 20 million euros to Bercy. But it should report at the same time the State an amount equivalent or almost in tax revenue (VAT, tax, etc.).
In addition, Film France evaluates EUR 114.2 million expenditures in France by licensed films. Filming in actual shooting made such as for "inception" or "the tourist", currently on view, are at the origin of a little less than half of expenses (EUR 54.8 million).
Animated films drain more money again, approximately EUR 59.4 million. The France, who had already acquired its letters of nobility in the world in 3D with companies like Mac Guff, Buff or Mikros and special effects, increased its tariff competitiveness through tax assistance. Universal Studios, the producer of "Me, ugly and evil" thus entrusted the realization of all its special effects to Mac Guff. The film should be the only one to reach the ceiling of tax exemption authorized, or 4 million. For his next production, "the lorax", the major American planned to work again with the small French firm.
Job creation tax credit
The tax credit would be creator of jobs. "Between 50 and 60 of all expenditures in France are payroll." "Several tens of thousands of days of intermittent of the show were created by the international tax credit," said Patrick Lamassoure, General delegate of Film France. Technical industries - post-production, trays, trucks, ornaments, etc. - also benefit. To "sell" to foreign filmmakers, the France emphasises its cultural and historical influence. Ile-de-France is the region that attracts most foreign shoots. "In addition to the establishment of the international tax credit, a policy of rental of the premises of the French heritage at more affordable prices was established", said Olivier-René Veillon, Director General of the commission of the Ile-de-France film. In addition, large producer countries of films with some 200 feature films per year, the hexagon reassures foreign directors. But the competition is tough. Since 2005, five countries - the Germany, the Italy, Czech Republic, Malta and the Hungary - have also created tax incentive mechanisms to attract foreign filming.
