Incentives and audit

We apply for incentives and rebates

Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia pay a cash rebate on qualified local spend. We register before the spending starts, document it through the shoot, and hold the claim at audit, so the rate quoted is the rate collected.

Our pledge

Radical transparency, integrity, and absolute effort on your behalf.

You see the vendor quotes we see. Cost reports arrive on schedule, in your format. Every rebate figure carries its source and the date we verified it.
