The document summarizes tax credits available for film and visual effects productions in British Columbia, including: 1) The Production Services Tax Credit (PSTC) provides refundable tax credits up to 33% of BC labour expenditures for eligible productions. 2) The Digital Animation or Visual Effects (DAVE) tax credit provides an additional 17.5% credit for visual effects work done in BC. 3) Productions filmed outside of BC can still qualify for partial tax credits if they contract with a BC visual effects house.

Editor's Notes
- Regional tax credit – to support productions that are filming outside of the Greater Vancouver area
- Compare to Ontario & Quebec – not a separate tax credit, can be claimed by the production company, allow for greater labour to be included
- The last 3 points will be explained further.
- Audio effects-sound effects added during post-production. However, voice-overs, the narration or non-synchronous dialogue that takes place over the onscreen action is OK In camera effects-effects achieved using single or multiple passes of film through a camera Credit rolls-title sequences OK Labour not eligible for the basic PSTC is not eligible under DAVE ie audit fees and marketing costs
