Production Attraction Incentives in New South Wales
The NSW Government provides highly competitive incentives to approved productions through the Film & Television Industry Attraction Fund (FIAF) to attract “footloose” projects to the State. The attraction fund is discretionary and incentives are provided in the form of rebates, which are generally formulated as a percentage of Qualifying NSW Production Expenditure. The incentive is determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account demonstrable benefits including job creation, NSW production expenditure, skills development and technology transfer.
The NSW incentive is in addition to the Australian Federal Government’s Location Offset, Post/Digital/Visual Effects Offset and Producer Offset.
