Figures that speak for themselves: 25% all-spend + 20% + 16%…
Quebec’s new ALL-SPEND Production Services Tax Credit is actually a CASH REBATE, the first of its kind in Canada:
a) ALL expenses incurred in the province are admissible, including labor, equipment, purchases or rentals, transport, catering…basically EVERYTHING!
b) There’s also a 20% tax credit bonus on labor expanded for all GREEN-SCREEN and VFX shots.
c) Add to that the federal 16% tax incentive, net of any assistance, of eligible labor expenditures within Canada.
d) Total: a potential 43% cash-back on everything you’ve spent in Quebec.
e) No prescribed limit, no minimum, no limited fund, no sun-set clause, no re-sellable credits, no limitations whatsoever…just wide-open, simple and straightforward!

Saskatchewan
SaskFilm & Video Development Corporation
The Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit Program (SFETC) is one of the most comprehensive and competitive tax incentive programs available in the world.
Offering a tax credit of up to 55% of eligible labor on each individual project with no content or copyright restrictions, the program continues to be user-friendly, production-oriented and is designed to encourage film and television production in Saskatchewan. Unlike other tax credit programs, Saskatchewan’s incentives are available for each production, without obligation to film additional projects in the province to qualify for an additional rebate. There are no financial caps per production and program applications are processed swiftly in the interests of the producer. Saskatchewan is also home to a state of the art production facility – the Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios.
