Federal: Australian Screen Production Incentive - Location, PDV and Producer Offsets

The Australian Screen Production Incentive has three mutually-exclusive strands:

• 15% Location Offset;
• 15% Post, Digital and Visual effects Offset (PDV)
• Up to 40% Producer Offset (for Australian Productions).

The Location and PDV Offsets apply only expenditure thresholds, while the Producer Offset is exclusively for productions with Significant Australian Content (SAC) or official co-productions.

The Location and PDV Offsets are administered by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA). The Producer Offset is administered by Screen Australia.
