Bigger tax incentives a great conversation starter for the TNRD Film Commission
KAMLOOPS — Earlier this week, the NDP government announced plans to attract more film and TV productions to the province through increased tax incentives.
Set to come forward in the NDP’s 2025 budget, the government will be increasing the Film Incentive BC Tax Credit, which supports Canadian-content productions, and the Production Services Tax Credit that provides a tax incentive for international projects made in B.C.
“It definitely won’t hurt. I mean, having a lucrative tax incentive is always a very strong conversation starter when you are talking to productions that are wanting to come into the area, so having that much stronger of a tax incentive is a beautiful thing,” said TNRD Film Commissioner Terri Hadwin. “I am a super big fan of the tax incentives we have in British Columbia because they are all labour based, so they are tied to a person getting a job in film industry.”
