Cashback Rebate starting from 35%++
Rebate Interim Certificate
Application Form
Disclaimer
Before applying for the Rebate, it is essential to read our Guidelines, which are integral to the Rebate Application process. You must be in compliance with the Guidelines at all times in order to be eligible for the Rebate. The ‘Rebate’ is a production incentive provided by ADFC, starting from 35%++ of Abu Dhabi qualifying production expenditure (“ADQPE”).
An applicant must be a production company or a production services company holding a valid Creative Media Authority – Abu Dhabi trade license. The entity principally responsible for all activities involved in making the production in Abu Dhabi (the “Producer”) does not need to hold a valid Creative Media Authority – Abu Dhabi trade license and may submit a Rebate application via a Creative Media Authority – Abu Dhabi licensed company. Applicants will require the Media Regulatory Office (the ‘MRO’) approval for the production that is the subject of a Rebate application, and such approval should be obtained as early as possible in the application process in order to ascertain potential Rebate eligibility. Scripts or treatments that have not been approved in writing by either the MRO or ADFC will not be eligible for the Rebate.
All information and documentation submitted to ADFC must be true and accurate, and ADFC has the absolute discretion to refuse any Application. Once ADFC is in receipt of a fully completed Application Form, together with all required supporting documentation, including the necessary content approval, an Interim Certificate should be issued within twenty (20) working days (Rebate Guidelines Section 3.13). Please note this time stamp will NOT start if the submitted application documents are inaccurate or incorrect.
