Common Questions
Can I combine the cash rebate with other funding?
Yes. The 30% national cash rebate can be layered with Poland's regional film funds (Łódź, Mazovia, Kraków and others) and PISF production grants, subject to each fund's own local-spend and selection rules. The same costs cannot be double-counted.
When will I receive the cash rebate?
The Polish Film Institute (PISF) releases the rebate after positively verifying your final cost report. Reports are reviewed within roughly 90 days of submission.
Is there a cap on the rebate amount?
Yes. The rebate is capped at PLN 15 million (≈ €3.33 million) per project and PLN 20 million (≈ €4.76 million) per applicant per calendar year.
Do I need a Polish production company?
Yes. A Polish partner or a company registered in Poland is required to apply. Fixers in Poland can serve as your local partner and handle all requirements.
