New Zealand Screen Production Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial rebates to film and television productions that spend a certain amount of money on local production costs within New Zealand.

👤Who it's for

This grant is designed for productions that meet specific spending thresholds within the country. It is intended for professional screen productions that can demonstrate significant local expenditure.

🎁What you get

You can receive a rebate on qualifying production expenditure. This means a portion of the money you spend on your production in New Zealand can be returned to you as a financial incentive.

💰What it costs you

While the grant itself is a financial benefit, it requires a significant investment of time and administrative effort. You will need to undergo a rigorous audit of all your production spending to prove that your expenses meet the required criteria.

⚠️The catch to know

The requirements are not the same for everyone. The spending threshold required for domestic productions is lower than the threshold for international productions, but both still require a significant scale of spending to qualify.

📝How to apply

• Review the specific spending thresholds to ensure your production qualifies.
• Prepare detailed records of all qualifying production expenditure.
• Be ready to provide documentation for a formal audit of your spending.
