Cost & Rebates

Since only a basic filming infrastructure exists most visiting production choose to bring in their key crew and equipment, which adds to travel costs. Once on the ground, local costs including locations, talent, supporting crew and equipment, are relatively inexpensive. At present there are no tax incentives for foreign commercials or films shooting in Armenia.
