The Manitoba Film and Video Production Tax Credit is a refundable corporate income tax credit available to qualifying producers of eligible Manitoba productions and co-productions.

The Film and Video Production Tax Credit provides production companies with a 45% tax credit based on eligible Manitoba labour expenses.  Under certain circumstances, the salary of qualifying non-residents may be deemed eligible for the tax credit.  

Additional incentives are available under this program, including a 10% Frequent Filming Incentive, a 5% Rural and Northern Incentive, and a 5% Manitoba Producer Bonus.  A film that meets all program criteria may earn a credit up to 65% of eligible salaries.

The Department of Competitiveness, Training and Trade and Manitoba Film & Sound Recording Development Corporation jointly administer the Film and Video Production Tax Credit.
