Newfoundland and Labrador

Two mutually exclusive credits: 40% of labour, or 40% of all eligible production costs capped at $20 million per project.

Newfoundland and Labrador built lasting production infrastructure through two decades of returning series, and its incentive is now among the strongest in the country: a 40% all-spend credit with a $20 million ceiling, alongside the original 40% labour credit.

All-Spend Production Tax Credit 40% of eligible production costs, to a maximum credit of $20M annually per project

Film and Video Industry Tax Credit 40% of eligible Newfoundland and Labrador labour

Exclusivity A production claims one credit or the other, and All-Spend registration excludes Equity Program recipients

Administered by Department of Finance with PictureNL (Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation)

PictureNL also operates an equity investment program for projects outside the All-Spend credit.

The interprovincial angle

A 40% all-cost credit at this ceiling puts Newfoundland and Labrador in competition for large productions that would once have defaulted to bigger provinces, and the labour credit remains the simpler instrument for smaller interprovincial partnerships built around Newfoundland crews and locations.

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.
