Irene Gardiner: NZ Screen Producers Guild President on proposed tweaks to current Screen Production Grant

Some good news has come for the screen production industry with the Government proposing a tweak to the current Screen Production Grant, starting with a name change to the Screen Production Rebate. The say the rebate will be made simpler, more competitive and easier to access. This includes the post-production, digital and visual rebate returning to a flat rate of 20 per cent, and the qualifying expenditure threshold for the post-production, digital and visual effects rebate dropping from $500,000 to $250,000, enabling smaller productions to also benefit.
