New Brunswick

Production incentive at up to 40% of New Brunswick labour or 25–30% all-spend, delivered as a grant with annual intake.

New Brunswick supports production through grant programs rather than a legislated tax credit, administered through the province's arts and culture funding portal. The province's bilingual crews and Acadian production culture give it a distinct position in French-language television.

Labour-based incentive Up to 40% of eligible salaries paid to New Brunswick residents

All-spend alternative 25% of all New Brunswick expenditures (service productions); up to 30% for New Brunswick companies

Labour cap Eligible labour may not exceed 50% of eligible production costs

Delivery Grant with annual intake cycles via the Arts, Culture NB portal

Administered by Government of New Brunswick, Tourism, Heritage and Culture

Intake windows open and close by fiscal year; confirm the current cycle with the department before budgeting.

The interprovincial angle

The Acadian corridor is the specific opportunity: French-language projects that pair New Brunswick producers with Quebec or Franco-Ontarian partners serve a market the province's broadcasters actively commission for. Grant timing makes early coordination with interprovincial partners essential.

Rates verified against official program sources as of July 2026. Incentive parameters change with provincial budgets; confirm current terms with the administering body before financing decisions. All provincial incentives stack with the federal layer.
