Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) | Canadian Heritage

none

Value

25% of the qualified labour expenditure.

Description

The Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) provides eligible productions with a fully refundable tax credit, available at a rate of 25 per cent of the qualified labour expenditure.

The CPTC encourages the creation of Canadian film and television programming and the development of an active domestic independent production sector.

Eligible Applicants

The CPTC is available only to a Canadian production company that is a qualified corporation. A qualified corporation is one that is throughout a given taxation year a prescribed taxable Canadian corporation with a permanent establishment in Canada, and that primarily carries on the activities of a Canadian film or video production business. A Canadian film or video production in this context is a production meeting the requirements of section 1106 of the Regulations.

Eligible Expenses

The CPTC is available at the rate of 25% of the qualified labour expenditure for an eligible production in a given taxation year.

The qualified labour expenditure represents the eligible labour expenses incurred for a production, capped at 60% of the production’s total cost once funding amounts considered assistance are deducted. The maximum CPTC available for a production is therefore 15% of the total cost of production net of assistance. The rules for calculating the tax credit are set out in section 125.4 of the Act.

Deadline Date

The CPTC accepts applications on an ongoing basis.
