The tax rebate can be granted to projects that incur 1 million Euros or 50% of their world budgets in French expenditures and, for a live action work, have at least 5 days of shooting in France. It can total a maximum of €30 million by project.

Therefore, the net benefit of DFFF funding varies between 16% and 20% of the total Qualifying German Spend. The total maximum amount is EUR 4 million per project, but exceptionally, a maximum of up to EUR 10 million may be granted if a project's German Spend exceeds 35%, or if the cultural test quota exceeds 66.6%.

For all British qualifying films of any budget level, the Film Production Company (FPC) can claim a payable cash rebate of up to 25% on UK qualifying expenditure.
