Nova Scotia Film and Television Production Incentive Fund

Nova Scotia का current screen incentive Nova Scotia Film and Television Production Incentive Fund है, जो Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage के माध्यम से administered है। Fund screen-based content creation के लिए support प्रदान करता है और province में permanent establishment वाले organizations के लिए उपलब्ध है जो primarily public viewing के लिए film या video productions create करने में engaged हैं।

Two-Stream Structure

  • Stream I (50% से 100% Nova Scotian ownership और control): सभी eligible Nova Scotia costs पर 26% base amount
  • Stream II (50% से कम Nova Scotian ownership या control): सभी eligible Nova Scotia costs पर 25% base amount
  • Minimum spend: HST से पहले Nova Scotia spend में कम से कम C$25,000
  • Maximum funding: प्रति project C$10 million
  • Applications principal photography शुरू होने से पहले receive होनी चाहिए (application submit होने के बाद photography शुरू हो सकती है)

Available Uplifts

  • Additional 2% यदि principal photography का 50% से अधिक rural या non-metropolitan area में हो
  • Additional 1% यदि shoot Nova Scotia में 30 दिनों से अधिक चले
  • Up to 3% additional funding यदि production Nova Scotia Content Incentive के criteria पूरे करती है

Producers के लिए रणनीतिक नोट्स

Nova Scotia को grant-style provincial incentive के रूप में सबसे अच्छा समझा जाता है जो explicitly locally controlled productions और incoming या minority-local projects के बीच अंतर करता है। इसकी competitiveness इस fact में निहित है कि दोनों streams केवल labor की बजाय eligible Nova Scotia costs पर based हैं, जबकि uplifts longer shoots, rural production, और stronger Nova Scotia cultural value को reward करते हैं।

Nova Scotia Canada के broader federal-plus-provincial financing system के भीतर है, लेकिन इसके own program को single universal tax credit formula की बजाय clear ownership-based tiers वाले structured provincial fund के रूप में समझा जाना चाहिए।
