Malta is ramping up its cash rebate system in an attempt to keep it on the map as a locations destination for film and TV productions. The Mediterranean island nation said Wednesday the rebates on productions shooting are being boosted to 25 percent, with a further 2 percent up for grabs should there be a Maltese cultural element. The cash rebate system, which is subject to state aid approval from the European Commission, has also been broadened to include international TV series, miniseries and animation projects.
