Note: the following text made available by Ausfilm.
The Tax Laws Amendment (2007 Measures No. 5) Bill 2007, Schedule 10, that enacts the Australian Screen Production Incentive, has been ratified by both the House and Representatives and the Senate. Once signed by the Governor-General (Royal Assent), it becomes law.
The new legislation has the following impacts: · introduces a refundable tax offset for Australian expenditure in making Australian films (the Producer Offset); · enhances the existing refundable film tax offset for Australian production expenditure (the Location Offset); · introduces a refundable film tax offset for post, digital and visual effects production in Australia (the PDV Offset); and · phases out the existing tax incentives provided to investors in Australian films.

Note: the following text made available by Ausfilm.
The Federal Government recently announced that Australia and China have signed a co-production agreement. The treaty, which was finalised in Beijing at the Australian Embassy and took three years to negotiate, covers feature films and telemovies.
The co-production treaty offers a raft of advantages for participants with equal benefits including tax and investment incentives, and allows them access to programs of assistance in their respective countries. Productions made under the treaty, says the Government, also qualify as 'local content' for both nations.
